Tomasz,
Thanks for your thoughts. I think convenience and features are
subjective things and are a matter of being "good enough" for a
particular person/system. If I'm primarily trading on EOD data and it
just takes me a couple of minutes a day to get things set up to see
real-time updates, this setup may be more than "good enough" for me
(still TBD).
Regarding your other points:
(1) It appears I can get 1 minute resolution into AB for all my (about
170) symbols of interest. (More than "good enough" for me).
(2) My mixed intraday/EOD database appears to be working exactly as
I'd expect but maybe there is still some problem I haven't seen (?).
(3) I don't need 9 months intraday but I have even more than 10 years
EOD via Yahoo (all available data I think).
(4) Granted - no time and sales available but I have them from other
sources (two brokers).
The jury is still out but I was getting tired of paying money to DTN
for IQFeed features that I was never using.
I have never used AB for trading but use it primarily for systems
development, backtesting, and displaying charts anyway I want.
