[amibroker] Re: QuoteTracker -- Beyond the Basics

Sir,

Is it not possible to increase the number of data sources in amiquote 
and also make amiquote get data in intraday format like QT ?

With refrence to as said below

<Quote>
2. "middle-man" application like QT (between quote source and 
AMiBroker) makes just things "fragile" and it must be run all the 
time in parallel. This eats computer resources that can be better 
utilised when direct connection to data source is implemented

EST time zone. This means that if you live in Australia QuoteTracker 
will report ASX quotes with EST time zone and they will be 15 hours 
off from your local time. While AmiBroker has the setting for 
shifting intraday charts and this is not a problem when running 
Intraday mode, it becomes a problem when using daily (EOD) mode 
because quotes reported by QuoteTracker are one day off then. This 
setting solves this as AmiBroker adds the number of hours entered 
here to the time reported by QuoteTracker to get the valid date of 
quote in daily mode. This field is filled in with the difference 
calculated using your Windows Time settings. "
