Re: [amibroker] How to use Bloomberg datasource in Amibroker

[Chris DePuy]

I used DDE with Bloomberg or Instiquote (can't really remember which one but it was pretty straightforward) about  6 months ago for a few days and I'm pretty sure the reason I stopped was because it didn't have historical data.  But, remapping the tickers is fairly straightforward and the codes are pretty similar to those you'd see if you do a lot of spreadsheet calls from the blp API.   Depending on what reason you're using Amibroker, even though you're shelling out $1,750 plus exchange fees per month, it might just be better to use 15-min delayed Yahoo data (even have it update every 5 minutes "automatically" using Amiquote), or use one of the supported systems like eSignal (which costs you more money but probably saves you a lot of time).   ----- Original Message ----- From: fc6191 To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 3:41 PM Subject: [amibroker] How to use Bloomberg datasource in Amibroker Does anyone know whether it is possible to use Bloomberg as dataprovider? It seems there is no plug-in for it but perhaps one can do it with DDE? Anyone having experience how well this works? __._,_.___ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
