[amibroker] Qcharts/Esignal/EOD



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I'd like to use the backtest function of Automatic Analysis to run 
through a large part of the US Stock database to look for potential 
signals I might take towards the end of the day.  My system works off 
the eod/close, so what I want to do is run this about 20 minutes before 
close to see which symbols I need to watch closely to pull the trigger 
right before close.  

So I have Qcharts/esignal with a 200 symbol limit, but I'm trying to 
get current prices on about 3500 symbols once or twice/day.  Esignal 
seems to be stopping me from getting current prices.  I have the "Wait 
for Backfill" checkbox selected. I called them, they told me that if my 
program (Amibroker) gets one price at a time, I shouldn't get capped 
out, but I don't know how Amibroker does it or if the guy I talked to 
told me the right thing.   I can probably use the qcharts 
plugin/continuum, but I think that'll be discontinued by esignal in a 
couple of months.

Can anyone tell me if I should be able to do this with the esignal 
and/or another solution on how to get the real time prices once or 
twice/day?  It seems like the data I'm trying to get is so much less 
than having 200 symbols running with r/t data all day that it should be 
possible.

Thanks!
