Claude (& Seede),
I verified I could do what you suggest with IB. Thanks.
Another option which I'm investigating is to use the $20/month
Quotetracker (QT) version of IQFeed (I have a 7 day trial on one
computer and my "full" IQFeed on another). According to DTN, there is
no difference in the reliability, speed, resolution, or number of
symbols in the two IQFeeds. The only differences are: (1) the QT
version doesn't work with Amibroker (but wait, there's more!) and (2)
the intraday historical data isn't as long.
However if you use the QT version of IQFeed to feed Quotetracker and
then use the Amibroker QT plugin, you get the real-time data into AB.
If I use this with my Yahoo EOD database, it works exactly how I (and
I think you) want -- the last daily bar updates in intraday real-time.
I can even run with Quotetracker minimized and everything updates in
AB. The only caveat is that you have to have the symbols of interest
in a QT portfolio that is being updated.
I haven't experimented much with intraday charts using this method but
I will.
Personally, I've liked Quotetracker for along time and one mode I
could see using would be to look at intraday charts with it and look
at historical daily charts in AB (with the last bar being updated).
If you're not familiar with Quotetracker and you're worried about
cost, you can get it free if you want to live with some advertisements
at the top of the window. You can eliminate the ads by paying $60/year.
