I found this somewhere , Hope this is useful. Due credit to Hetal.
Hello Everyone,
This is the way I take free REALTime Data from yahoo ( free
of any 3rd party progs or plugins) only with amiquote and amibroker.
VERY VERY IMP FIRST YOU TAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR AMIBROKER
DIRECTORY . This is very important.
We now start with the operation Realtime Yahoo Free
First the basics to get it clear so that u should also
understand what we are doing ok
You all must have used amiquote earlier with yahoo current.
If u take nseyahoosymols as tls files
and load it in amibroker u get data from yahoo but till now it was delayed even
if are logged in yahoo
But the recent amiquote has an option to allow yahoo cookies
after u are logged in yahoo finance so that was an hidden additional feature
which many didn’t took it seriously but it is the same thing what other
softwares made here in INDIA which many are using it for realtime data from
yahoo to ami. They all say one thing first log in with ur id at yahoo finance to get rt data . Here
we also have to log in yahoo finace and keep logged to get rt data with
amiquote ok
Now what happens when u run amiquote & what type of data
it gets which we use it for realtime basis
1ST YAHOO DON’T GIVE DATA
LESS THAN 1 MINUTE BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE TIMESTAMP LESS THAN A MINUTE.
SECONDLY IT DOESN’T GIVES U Indian makt hours in the time
stamp so how can we have that in amiroker.
Over to that
1st make a new database in amibroker as amitry as per below
given method
keep base time interval as tick
then in intraday settings
select 24 hours
time 9:30 to 15:30
select exchange time/ local ( I have yet to see the
differencr in this feature)
then in the below given box timeshift write 10
now after u click on ok
u have to click on create so an empty database is created
BUT AFTER U DO THAT U HAVE TO SAVE THIS EMPTY DATBASE SO
THAT THE TIMESHIFT IS RECORDED IN IT.
After u do close ami and reopen and load this amitry
database
Then click from file menu database settings
And go to intraday settings and recheck that the 10 which we
have put in the time shift box is intact If it shows as 0 read zero change it
to 10 and again save the database Now it will be fixed.
Actually with 10 we would be ahead by some 30 minutes with
ref to our mkt time. We
At present cant do anything because the time shift as taken
my amibroker can only take in hours it does not take minutes .
I think Only Tomaz can help it because if he wants he can
allow hours & minutes.
Normally the time shift should be in 30 mins slab. I don’t
know why it is kept as only hours. Anyway we have to bear with this BUG after all we are going to get free data in RT
mode ok
Now very imp part
How amiquote gets data from yahoo afterlogged in
The file which amiquote gets is 1 or more files depending on
the symbols u have in ur
tls file
But that is the input for amibroker to put the data in
amibroker chart ok
"ABB.NS","ABB
LTD.",3730.20,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+77.30,3669.00,3755.00,3623.00,77554
"ACC.NS","ASSOCIATED
CEMENT",749.95,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+23.60,729.85,750.00,726.00,822345
"ALBK.NS","ALLAHABAD BANK",73.05,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+0.95,70.20,73.80,70.20,111529
"ALOKTEXT.NS","ALOK INDUSTRIES
L",59.05,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+0.20,55.00,60.00,55.00,81295
ok and with what is this data updated I mean .format file
the name of the format file is aqd.format which u can change it to .txt file
and load it in notepad
It looks like this
# AmiQuote daily download format (.AQD extension)
# Revision 1.1 (previous version had missing Date_MDY field)
# Revision 1.2 (added $STRICT 1)
$FORMAT Ticker,FullName,Close,Date_MDY,Skip,Skip,Open,High,Low,Volume
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$AUTOADD 1
$CONT 1
$GROUP 254
$BREAKONERR 0
$STRICT 1
We have to change this as below to put in the realtime data
from yahoo to amibroker with out any 3 rd party progs
SO here is the modified
aqd.format for rt data
# AmiQuote daily download format (.AQD extension)
# Revision 1.1 (previous version had missing Date_MDY field)
# Revision 1.2 (added $STRICT 1)
# Revised for RT data from yahoo in Rt mode
$FORMAT Ticker,FullName,Close,Date_MDY,Time,Skip,Skip,Skip,Skip,Volume
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$AUTOADD 1
$CONT 1
$GROUP 254
$BREAKONERR 0
$STRICT 1
copy this above and save it to format dir as aqd.format.rt
for time being
ok now change the old filename aqd.format to aqd.format.eod
and again rename our newly mad aqd.format.rt to aqd.format
Now close all progs esp amibroker & amiquote
Before our Indian mkt starts at 9:55
We have to 1st log in yahoo finance
Then start amibroker and load amitry database ( u can use
any name I have used it as amitry ok)
Then fire up Amiquote and load the nse yahoo symbol.tls
And select yahoo current and click the green so that it
starts running also select the
Autoimport box and put 1 in run every one minute
This is the secret to get FREE RT DATA IN RT MODE IN
AMIBROKER.
ONLY THING IS YAHOO DON’T GIVE BARWISE VOLS
SO U HAVE TO MAKE AN AFL FOR VOLUME TO DEDUCT THE PREVIOUS
BARS VOLUME FROM CURRENT AR VOLUME TO GET THE TRUE BAR WISE VOLUME
My SUGGESTION IS TO USE ANY TIMEFRAME GREATER THAN 3 MINUTE
BARS TO GET A REAL TRUE PICTURE
The only thing I would request Tomaz here again and I think
this the 3rd time I have made this request to make the timeshift
atleast in half hour 30 mins slabs than
the current 1 hour slabs
Even in windows reginal settings the time slabs are in 30
mins
All the credit here goes to Tomaz for his recent feature
addition in amiquiote to allow recognize yahoo cookies.
This whole game is based on yahoo cookies after u are logged
in yahoo finance…
Happy Trading with Free Rt data
