[amibroker] Re: How do you plot the "bid" value of a foreign symbol?

["treliff" <treliff@xxxxxxxxx>]

A very illuster symbol indeed. In TWS I get no data at all but in AB 
I get as you describe (I assume. I also get bidsize 163,895 and 
asksize 1, what is this ??) 

To your Q: until someone else steps in with a better method the only 
way is probably in the thread mentioned (using DDE). But remember 
your complete database will be set up this way. If you really attach 
to volume/breadth data you may set up a separate 
system/database/monitor just for this. 

Then again, a different feed with separate symbols for up/down volume 
may be more efficient (as TJ said: IB feed was NEVER designed to be 
used with charting. They designed it to update their quote GRID only.)
