[amibroker] Data feed from TD AMERITRADE using AMERITRADE API (2 years intraday backfill !)

["johnz3008" <johnz3008@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tomasz,


One of my trading friends ontacted the TD ameritrade for their API. 
Jerry, the developer of QT is now the major support guy of ameritrade 
API now. He said we can backfill 2 years'(max) intraday historical data 
using ameritrade API. That sounds super!

Many of my friends are using AB with QT to get the intraday data from 
Ameritrade, however, QT only supports 20 days backfill and the existing 
QT plugin(privided by AB) eats lots of CPU resource since it uses HTTP 
server mode.

In our opinion, TD ameritrade's intraday data is very clean, it's a 
very good data source. Ameritrade's server is very very fast, We can 
easily backfill 500 symbols' 20 days intraday data very quick and 
without any interruption throught QT (while we can not do that with IB 
fackfill, IB server often kicks the backfill threads out after certain 
bytes are transfered). Considering we have so many Ameritrade users, we 
believe it will bring more customers to AB for sure if we can have a 
plugin to get RT and historical data from ameritrade using their 
streaming API, even you charge the plugin for certain cost.

Would you mind making a plugin for that using ameritrade API? 

The steps are: 
1. go 
http://www.tdameritrade.com/tradingtools/partnertools/api_dev.html for 
some information.
2. send an email to api@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, they will send the NDA form 
to you to sign.
3. After you signed the NDA, then they will email all documents and 
APIs to you.

Hopefully, we could have an ameritrade plugin soon.

Thanks
John
