Clement,
Thanks for your reply.
Using a Tick database and range charts gives me a very small backfill
from IB. Usually less than a few hours worth of quotes.
I was hoping that Amibroker could auto log in to IB and maintain a
connection. I'm a little bit leary of the free software that does this
because I don't know if they might be spyware and would steal my IB
account log in info.
Thanks,
Greg
