Tomasz,
As a new user of AB and long time user of other charting packages I
find the whole issue of mixing EOD and intraday data in one file or
suggestions to run two separate instances of AB (one for EOD charts
and one for intraday ones) confusing at best.
In QCharts you can pull an eod chart and then in the next window 5min
chart for exactly the same symbol. In SierraChart eod files have
extension DLY and intraday files have extension MND and all those
files (with exactly the same file=symbol names) are stored together
in the same folder and then pull-up for charting from within the same
database using separate eod/intraday menus. This file structure is
easy to manage and very
flexible.
Do you plan any improvements in this area or do you have some strong
reasons to keep the status quo?
