[amibroker] new IQFEED plugin - bugs

Hello,

First of all I want to thank Thomasz for releasing a new IQFeed 
plugin.  It was overdue for a long time already.   

In addition, it appears that the new plugin is in a fact much more 
stable than the old one, even though I have not yet tested in detail 
whether the old "hang up problem" still occurs sometimes.  But 
Time&Sales does now work which was not the case with the previous 
plugin.

Unfortunately, the new plugin has a severe bug. As I am interested 
very much in whether other users are having the same problem too, 
I'll describe the bug here on this mailing list publicly.   I hope 
this is ok.

When using the timeframe daily and trying to backfill data for a 
given ticker symbol, it is obvious that the plugin sometimes 
backfills data for a wrong ticker symbol, but not the requested one.

For example, after selecting the symbol "msft",  Amibroker sets the 
title of the chart window correctly to msft.   But in the chart it 
displays data for a different ticker symbol, but not for msft.  In my 
specific case, the data shown in the chart is apparently for one of 
the market breath indicators such as IINA.Z.

The same erroneous behavior happens with many other stocks too.  Only 
the last (= right-most/most recent) bar is correct, but the previous 
backfilled bars are for another (ie. wrong) ticker symbol.


I use Amibroker 4.76beta with IQFeed Version 4.1.0.0.  Further, I  
set up a completely new Amibroker database with timeframe daily, 
datasource "IQFeed plugin" and storage "default".
