[amibroker] Re: Multiple AB instances with eSignal

Hi Tomasz,

that doesn't negate that you can have two different refresh rates running two instances of the same installation though does it? I seem to be able to do this with no trouble.

My purpose for this post is that I was hoping to be able to chart what you're outputting in the Time & Sales window. I.e. Trades hit at the bid vs ask on a per minute basis.
However in my tests using zero for the refresh rate, it still misses ticks. E.g. If three ticks come in with the same timestamp, it only refreshes once, although you get three distinct ticks on the chart and all three show up as trades in the Time & Sales window.
Is there any way to access the Time & Sales data through code?

Thanks,
Julian.

The refresh rate is stored in the registry (I think), so you would have to check the Preferences of each instance to make sure the refresh rate was the desired amount for each one after starting up AB.
