Re: [amibroker] RT Data - only last bar needed

["Ara Kaloustian" <ara1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried something similar with eSignal. 500 stocks is a lot to update in a minute or 2.

Subject: [amibroker] RT Data - only last bar needed

Hi guys,

 

In order to trade a system, I need to intraday scan some 500 stocks for their LAST PRICE, say once in a minute.

I don't need to see any charts or load large amounts of intraday data - I only need to know all stocks' LAST PRICE once in a minute or two.

 

Given these requirements, will it be sufficient to use the IB datafeed, or must I use eSignal basic for such a task?

I know IB can support quote retreival of up to 100 concurrent symbols at a time. Can these symbols be changed *PROGRAMATICALLY* from AB, say every 15 seconds?

 

Thanks for your time,

Short.
