I've been very satisfied with real-time data from
IQFeed.net. Clean, updates quickly, backfills automatically. I think
I have well over 10000 bars of 5-min data. Not expensive. IB is pretty
useless for getting data for backtesting. They only backfill
24-hours.

Subject: [amibroker] Timeframes and
Databases
Up until now, I have been experimenting with End of Day
data only. I would
like to do some testing with real time data as well. I
have a few questions
if someone doesn't mind answering them.
1. Is
it possible to have EOD and 5 minute data together? If not, what would
I
have to do? 2 separate databases?
2. How much 5 minute data is it
possible to have in a database?
3. What is the best source of Real Time
Data - best being reliable and
economical (if not mutually exclusive
:-)
4. Is what IB provides enough for back testing and is it difficult
to set
up?
5. Is there a source for stack and futures( commodity)
real time data?
Many thanks
Tom
