hi,
in reaction to the problem Herman is having I like
to mention a few things I encounter when using eSignal with Amibroker. Didn't
mention it before because I do not yet use RT data for system trading yet (only
EOD for now).
1) I use the following lines to update the database
that I track. I have multiple RT databases because one can only have a 100
symbols per database.
Buy = C > 0;
Filter =
Buy;
AddColumn(Buy,"");
what happens sometimes during the explore is that
it gets "stuck" at one symbol. Stopping the explore and trying to "force" it to
download also does not work. I find I have to go out of Amibroker, restart it
and then the data is available.
2) sometimes I start with 1 database (Real Time
database 1 or RT1) and switch to another one, RT2. Sometimes I
haven't been in RT2 for a while and a lot of data is missing. When I do a
explore to update the data this seems not to work good. The data will not
download properly using this explore method. When I try to force the data to
download for each symbol individually for most symbols this works, but quite
frequently I see for some symbols the data downloading real slow. I now
recognise these symbols directly as a problem symbol: the data for that symbol
seems to be downloading, the chart slowly building up, and then all of a sudden
it is lost again and starts all over to try to download the data. Again one
needs to go out and back into Amibroker to solve the problem.
3) When switching from 1 real time data base to
another it sometimes does not want to connect. Amibroker comes with the message
that the "connection is partially established", then the connection is "OK" but
then goes back to "partially established" and this back and forth switching
sometimes continues forever and I have to go out of Amibroker to stop
it.
wonder if I am the only one who sees these things
happen,
rgds, Ed

TimeFrameGetPrice with SetForeign()
Thank you stephane, i am having some problems with certain stocks that
don't want to chart in RT, like IBM... they chart fine in eSignal EOD but
don't want to show any data in Minutes/ticks. Don't know why...IBM just
doesn't want to backfil...
best regards,
herman
