You can already run multiple instances of Amibroker with IQFeed as data source. At present I use one instance of Amibroker with the IQFeed plugin and timeframe set to daily. I use this instance to watch a large number of symbols and their daily charts, in order to see the big picture updated in realtime. On another monitor I run a second instance of Amibroker with an intraday database. With this second Amibroker instance I'm watching a much smaller set of symbols, primarily only the intraday movements of the symbols I really trade or which are otherwise of special interest to me.
Of these two Amibroker instances, the instance with daily charts (but updated in realtime) is much more important to me. I have to use the old outdated IQFeed plugin, given that the latest one does not work correctly in daily mode. > I would also like to see an alternative to e-Signal. DTN.IQ is > tempting. yes, a lot of users are generally interested in alternatives to pricey eSignal. Unfortunately it appears that TJ himself is not interested much in alternatives. Otherwise I simply do not understand why he always stayed suspiciously quiet when the bug was mentioned here on this list and does not fix it. Interestingly, in May another user described the same bug in the Amibroker bug database. He paraphrased it succinctly as "data mixup". While other problems may be caused by shortcomings of the IQFeed API/client connector, the mixup issue is clearly a bug in the IQFeed plugin. http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/view_bug.php?bug_id=141 my old description here on this list: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/95626 http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/92835 --- In [email protected], "MarketMonk777" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If Amibroker will be forthcoming with multi monitor support (either running > two instances or allowing a window to be placed on each), I would also like > to see an alternative to e-Signal.
