[amibroker] Re: best feed for ASX?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Thanks for letting us know. 

Is that with the option package?

I think all providers will be negotiable especially if you are only 
going to use 100 symbols.

We tend to have the discussion here and put the informational and 
educational part at the UKB so I will be linking to this post for the 
detail and opinions - it seems to work well that way.

As I find new sources I will be filing summaries over there.
