Hello,
If they don't have backfill this makes them pretty much useless.
And no, if I were to host historical files, I would be entering data provider bussiness
and then it would be much better to provide full-featured feed than relying on someone else.
Being data provider is not part of my bussiness plan at the moment.
I am not going to write plugins to any source that does not have backfill,
you are however free to develop it on your own
http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/2006/12/15/amibroker-development-kit-adk-for-cc-now-available-to-everyone
or use universal DDE plugin as most no-backfill sources provide DDE capability http://www.amibroker.com/dde.html
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
