Recently a group I belong to had made the decision to migrate to Amibroker specifically because of the IBcontroller interface. 3 -4 of us have purchased the Pro version recently, and you should expect another 10 or so sales from my group. We are strongly banking on the continued development of the IBcontroller.

 

Thanks

  • Tomasz,

    1) The main point of my original post was to put into perspective how
    much time you allocate to different areas of AmiBroker's development.
    It seems to me that fixing all IB/TWS bugs might have to be done at
    the expense of enhancing other features. You are the developer, you
    know the best, I might be wrong, maybe these endless TWS buggy
    upgrades are easy to handle by an expert programmer like you.

    After posting my first message I actually expected an avalanche of
    posts from angry IB users looking for blood. It didn't happen. I'm
    not talking about discontinuing support for IB plug-in but about
    allocating you time resources according to customers demand.

    ---------------
    2) MyTrack Feed

    I can't access this page (it's for members only and you have to be a
    developer to register). I think these are posts from year ago or even
    earlier. MyTrack has made a leap forward when it comes to data
    quality during the last year. Freeze-ups or black-outs were always
    rare, but there were problems with missing days of backfill data,
    poor quality Forex quotes, occasional lagging rt data. All this has
    been fixed. Backfill for most US symbols is now 45 days. The only
    problem left is that US mini futures and Forex start on Monday at
    midnight instead of on Sunday evening. Once I tested MyTrack against
    the atomic clock and it was running one second behind. It's hard to
    tell if it was the feed itself or my system/connection lagging. For
    me it's not a problem, for other users it could be. The bigger issue
    is SDK pricing, definitely not very customer friendly.

    In conclusion:
    a) eSignal - the best feed for now
    b) IQfeed - looks promising
    c) MyTrack - daytraders should test if there is a lag
    d) IB - ?


    Regards,

    Lesmond
