RE: [amibroker] Ami is exiting without an exit command, AmiBroker Email List Archive

That is an old problem that began in the AB 4.X days. Suddenly for no apparent reason, not just at the start of TWS, AB would close. (In fact, I can’t rule out that it also happened with other data vendors such as IQFeed, QT) The first couple of times that was of course quite unsettling. After that you got used to it. It didn’t seem to corrupt anything, apart from losing some data and on occasion an unsaved AFL. It clearly is an intermittent problem, which are the hardest to solve. I spent more time on fault isolation than it was worth, but could isolate the problem to AB: Different mice, computers, OS even UPS all on occasion showed the same problem. Currently (in AB 5.20-5.26) the problem is much reduced. The high tech solution I use (of course proprietary and copyrighted, not to mention unique and never done by anyone else before, in short encompassing all the customary claims made in this field) is placing the AB in the taskbar on the left next to the Start button. Then after an inadvertent AB close, I then (and again this is proprietary) move the cursor over the AB icon, place one of my fingers (index selection not critical) on the mouse and press the Left mouse button and click: Like magic AB starts up and re-appears. I hope that this explanation is explicit enough: Otherwise, don’t hesitate to contact Tomasz.

yes, see the AT group. In my case I have the TWS already started. Then I start AB and direct it to the IB database. AB starts backfilling data and suddenly disappears. But it does not happen always. Some days it does other days all is ok. When I restart AB after it has disappeared all is ok. It never happens twice in a row during 1 computer session.

One thing I notice what I did not notice before (prior to 5.29 beta) is that when I start AB I see first the charts appear as white blank charts (a fraction of a second). Then it is replaced with the charts I saved previously.

Subject: [amibroker] Ami is exiting without an exit command

I start Ami and then TWS. Ami starts fine and once it starts I start TWS. When TWS starts Ami closes once in a while and I did not issue an exit command. I watch the monitor waiting for TWS to start back filling and when TWS starts Ami exits. This has been happening since I installed Beta 5.29. I currently have Beta 5.29 - 2 installed and it has happened on every 5.20 beta. It did not happen on 5.20.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Barry
