Of course not. Did you read the
instructions ?
http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html
- they clearly lists stocks, futures, indices.
Did you watch the
video I pointed out previously:
http://www.amibroker.com/video/ib.html
?
It clearly shows that I added MSFT and got data.
> "The

means that the SETTINGS are for
forex.
For ALL OTHER categories of symbols this setting DOES NOT
matter. Simply because for all other categories there are TRADES
made
at TRADE PRICE.
(In forex market there is no such thing as "trade
price" because
you don't deal with other participants - you deal only
with the broker/dealer
always at bid (when you sell) and always at ask(
when you buy).
Forex dealers do not report volume of trading and they do
not
send "trade" ticks. They only send bid/ask data ).
Best
regards,
