[amibroker] Re: Import list of symbols / plugin feed

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been using IQ feed for a little while intraday and it does not 
need a list. It downloads data for all the symbols in the database 
when it starts. You can force backfill but I never tried that. 

If you need to import a list of symbols into AB use AmiQuote to do 
that. It will read a csv or txt file and populate your database. Then 
you should be able to use IQ from then on, assuming the symbol names 
are correct for IQ. Use Tools and Import into AmiBroker.
