Hello Sanjay,
Thankyou for your honest answer.
It is not a big secret that people in India are making their own
solutions.
Everyone understands that AB is an international software and that
the ave income varies from country to country and that a lot of
people want to learn to trade but can't afford American prices for
software and data (the US is still the 2nd highest income per person
in the world isn't it?).
Also I have noticed that the Indian community is hardworking and
believes in self-help and helping each other so I guessed that you
have home grown solutions in place.
Of course if people are cashing in on 'hacked' versions of AQ, or
whatever. then they won't be keen for Tomasz to offer an official
version.
That is why I called on you all to discuss it in the open, so that
Tomasz has all of the information and can make decisions based on
that.
Tomasz
can't be everywhere so we are his eyes and ears.
It is not to say he will do anything but at least we can give him an
accurate briefing.
In the past he has said that he is not keen on RT data that doesn't
have backfill because the strength of AB is fast backtesting of large
numbers of symbols but India is a special case and he might
reconsider.
Also we have to remember that he is not going to develop AQ any
further if no one is going to buy it (I don't think he wants to work
for nothing).Re Yahoo RT India

That is what I am asking about.
What is the least time interval from Yahoo India?
From your answer it seems that RT YahooIndia is not timestamped less
than one minute - have I
understood that correctly.
I understand 'your' homemade method.
In the end you get data with 15sec ticks that is in the correct order
(relative to each other tick) so it is useable.
Re US RT data.
I have tried this in order to help Indian users and also other users
who want cheap RT data and I am giving it some advertising in this
forum.
I am not sure about the Yahoo US RT timestamps but I can see it
updating the data every few secs.
I have received 1 min data >> AB via AmiQuote.
I see that RTQDownloader produces RT Metastock format files from
RTYahooUS so I am going to try to get that data into AB.
AB's Metastock plugin can be configured to 15sec auto refresh so
there is some hope there.
The limit will be the RTQDownloader - it might have a one minute
limit also (OR this could be the timestamp limit for all YahooRT
data).
Anyway, I am doing this
because, in my experience Tomasz is busy but
he will give more attention to requests if we do our homework and
give him a well informed suggestion.

Thankyou.
Well, this is the best of natures, don't be in any doubt about it!

RS is that Rupees - I see the exchange rate is around 40 Rupees/$USD
so if that is the case there is a market there for Tomasz.
As you have probably noticed I have tried to welcome Indian users to
this list because I have a special affinity with Indian culture and
also because I have tried to open Tomasz's eyes to your market.
>But I dont think anyone would have cared to ask >Tomasz's
> permission neither any
one would have thanked him for the script.
That is the nauture of internet culture.
I give away a lot in the AB forums and I know that some people will
use it selfishly but I always act for the good silent majority.
Also I don't worry about people stealing my creative efforts - there
is plenty more where it came from and I am always a few steps ahead.
Thank you once again for your honesty,
A blessing on you and your family.
