[amibroker] Re: data conflicts only apparent in AB

I wonder if anyone has my problem with IB plugin - my intraday 
mechanical system sometimes change signals after a backfill, which 
is very bad as far as I am concerned. So I watch it carefully and 
force backfill often, but it still happens.  A signal can stay 
stable after several backfills but still change at a later backfill 
or after market close. This is ER2

I am ready to give up and pay for eSignal or IQ feed, in the hope  
their streaming data is more correct/stable, but reading Yuki's post 
makes me think this is may be an universal data problem.
