"When I connect to the satellite"
Exactly, that's the difference. With satellite feed you have UNLIMITED symbols.
With internet-based feed there are strong limits (such as 100 symbols in IB)
and it is not possible to stream more than that.
If you have upto 100 symbols just add them to REAL TIME QUOTE window
and they will stream automatically when you open amibroker.
Note that streaming means getting real-time quotes, not backfill. Backfill in Interactive Brokers
is still limited to 1 symbol at a time.
