I've been using AmiBroker for a few years now and love it as an EOD
scanning tool.
Meanwhile for tracking stuff during the day I'm still using
Tradestation as described below. I'm trying to figure out how to
get rid of it because I really would prefer to focus all my
attention on one platform and I've gotten pretty good at AFL and
manipulating AmiBroker.
Here is the issue, which I'm hoping to get some feedback on or maybe
(if I'm lucky) spark an idea for the next version of AmiBroker.
I really like to see weekly, daily and intraday charts all at once
before making a final decision on a trade, which Tradestation can do
seemlessly.
I first tried to do this w/ AmiBroker by having two live AmiBrokers
running at the same time, one with my EOD database, which contains
8000+ stocks and the other w/ a realtime database consisting of only
those that I was currently tracking (a few hundred)...
I just subscribed to Esignal thinking I'd consolidate into one
database, but I learned that this isn't practical for thousands of
stocks since the EOD data loading would be too cumbersome for
thousands of stocks. Therefore, even with a mixed Esignal
database, I still need one database for scanning thousands of stocks
for patterns, etc. and the other for just those that I am looking at
in detail.
The problems w/ two databases are as follows:
1. If I finish and EOD scan and want to do some line drawing or
notes on the chart and I do this in the EOD database, it is not in
the other one and I have to recreate these manual drawings when I
move to the intraday database.
2. If new stocks come up I have to add them to the intraday database
and (in theory) clean out the older ones that are no longer needed
for intraday scans. (Possibly by exporting/importing a watch list).
In general this works but is clunky.
The only ways I can think if to fix this are changes that would be
made to the actual softare. For instance...
1. If there was some way to share drawn data on a chart between two
Amibroker databases I could draw on one EOD and see it in the
intraday database when I look at a daily chart.
2. If there was some way to syncronize two running instances of
AmiBroker, I could have 2 windows open, an EOD from one database and
an Intraday from the other, and when I move from symbol to symbol
both versions running could change symbols at the same time.
I may be rambling (so I apologize) but I really want to adopt
AmiBroker fully and get rid of Tradestation but until there is some
way to look at data on an intraday / daily basis in a more
integrated fashion I don't think I can.
Does anyone have any better solutions or ideas?
Thanks
Mike
