RE: [amibroker] Real Time from Fidelity Active Trader Pro

Yes. Be sure to setup a minute database (or whatever time frame you
want). I think there is no Fidelity choice for backfill (Menus->Data
Source/Proxy->Backfill source) as a friend of mine has Fidelity and told
me this. So, if you're not around or the link goes down or whatever, you
can't fill the holes. IB is a better choice. It allows up to 30 days of
backfill by the minute. 

 

However, another friend says this backfill "clears" any older history. I
haven't had time to check that yet. I did setup a minute database and am
able to backfill the 30 days. When I update, for example, the last day
or last 5 days, it does not delete older history. (Don't need QT for IB
data, but it can be used as well).

When you use QuoteTracker, gettnig daily info, does the AB database save
all the data so you gradually build up some history?

Medved QuoteTracker can do this. Not sure how much backfill you get.

Is there anyway to get the data from Fidelity into the real time version
of AB?

 

Can someone share how, if it is possible.

 

Thanks,
