RE: [amibroker] Germany Xetra, IB and AB

Hello Eric,

 

i assume you can. Based on the AB help:

 

Alias
The alternative ticker name. It will be useful if you e.g. get the realtime
quotes and backfill from two separate datasources, that use different ticker
names.

 

I have never used it, but i think it should work.

Subject: [amibroker] Germany Xetra, IB and AB

 

I would like to trade Xetra stocks using Amibroker as opposed to IB's
DDE link. The problem is that the symbol that I am using to download
from Yahoo doesn't match the symbol for IB. For example, Yahoo's
symbol for Adidas is ADS.de where IB's is ADS and I specify the
exchange I want to trade. Is there a way to combine these two or
possibly change the name of Yahoo ADS.de to match IB's so I can use
them both while looking at the same chart. There has to be someone
out there who has run into this problem.

Thanks
Eric
