[amibroker] Re: Delayed buy/sell signals in Realtime.

Hi Dan,
 I agree with you. "Run every x minutes" might be misleading.
 Anyway regarding the main subject, as long as the scan doesn't take 5
minutes to run (which is perfectly possible, since AB runs fast), it
would be nice to write code (maybe using some script languae) to make
the scan run every five minutes. 
I think this is possible, but can you confirm Howard?

thanks
