Re: [amibroker] Re: need to choose a forex data provider IB vs esignal vs iqfeed

["Padhu" <ccie8340@xxxxxxxxx>]

MurthySuresh,

 

that won't work.  Thanks to Tomasz, here is the solution i got from TJ.

 

=====================================

Assume that your database holds eSignal symbols (EUR A0-FX, GBPJPY A0-FX)

 

PUT 6-character IB code into "Alias" field of every symbol you are using.

So EUR A0-FX symbol will have EURUSD entered in the ALIAS field.

 

Then conversion would be simple:

 

AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");

Stk = AB.Stocks( Name ());

IBSymbol = stk.Alias + "-IDEALPRO-CASH";

 

Now IBSymbol variable contains valid forex symbol.

===================================================

Use the IBsymbol   for placeorder functions.

 

Cheers,Padhu
