[amibroker] Re: Creating a datafeed and Autotrading plugin for MBTrading

Hello,

I was wondering how many people are interested in a datafeed and/or trading plugin for MB Trading. They recently added backfill capability to their quote api, and it seems that they provide upto 1 year of minute data, 30 days of tick data, and 10 years of daily data.

I have some experience with the MBT SDK and I have 10 years programming experience. I don't expect this task to be too difficult for me, but would be more inclined to do it if others are willing to pay a modest fee for it.

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
