I have similar behavior to what the prior posters have said.
There was a prior thread on this last week as well.. so there's a lot of us with this problem.
Most nights I review each symbol.. Usually the symbol is NOT filled in and a backfill must be performed.
I've found that running a scan against all syms in the morning will make AB collect and store the data ... sometimes
But just putting into the RT window doesn't.
This is 490.3 .. but has been this way for many months.

No, AB collects data for ALL symbols being accessed in
ANY way (you can for example run AA Scan over all symbols
to collect all without need to chart them).

I believe Eduardo charts in AB just ER, hence only ER's
data is being collected.
AB ONLY collects data for symbols who are being charted!
(unfortunately)
I would think that if you display all charts in
the morning there should be no problem. I am in Europe and I open the TWS +
Amibroker already before 10 a.m. CET to prepare my day, corresponding to 4
a.m. E.T.
Best to put all symbols in the real time quote
window. To open see: View -> Realtime Quote
put in the symbols you wish to have updated
during the day and then do Right Mouse Click on CONN (right bottom) and
Backfill All RT Quote symbols. If you do that every morning it should be fine
I would think,
Ed

from IB
I have linked AmiBroker with IB with 8 symbols to feed every day.
Every day when I open AmiBroker and IB I display the 8 symbols, but
during the day I watch just ER2.
When the day end and I watch the
other symbols, noone has bees updated
to the day.
I open both
software early in the morning ( 6:00 am ET ) and I am
thinking this
could be the problem.
Need I watch the charts right after 9:30 AM ET to
update all during the
day? Or I missing another task.
Thanks in
advance
Eduardo
