[amibroker] Re: 2 instances of AB using same IQFeed Plugin

eToke,

What exactly is the advantage of running two instances as opposed to having more chart windows under the one instance...?

The only advantage I can see is that if you are running multiple cores it splits the processing load more effectively...??
