Re: [amibroker] can backtest be triigered programatically from AFL or OLE?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

You mean "request a BACKFILL" (not backtest), don't you?

If so, "wait for backfill" is a feature of plugin. eSignal and IQFeed
have this feature, but IB does not. The reason is that eSignal and IQFeed
support multiple simultaneous backfills while IB does NOT.
Therefore IB uses different method, namely sequential backfills one at a time
triggerable from plugin status ("backfill all rt quote symbols") that ensures
that only one backfill runs at a time.

Best regards,
