Re: [amibroker] Re: Possible new IB data plugin problem

Hello,

RTH filtering is applied ON-THE-FLY on AmiBroker side depening
on current View->Intraday selection
As filtering can be changed in a fraction of second, the underlying
database MUST keep ALL data.
So all real-time plugins ALWAYS download ALL data
(including night sessions) and filtering is applied for display only.

Best regards,
