Hello, I meant registered AB. I do not use opentick on my own, nor I have any access to their sources, but assuming that plugin is written properly there should be no problem.
You can check whenever it is plugin problem the following way: 1. run AB with opentick, get backfill data so you see the chart 2. now go to File->Database Settings and switch "data source" combo box to "(local database)" 3. save and close. 4. open it back - you should see the data previously saved 5. now go to File->Database Settings and switch back "data source" to "opentick" 6. if data disappears now it means that this is plugin problem - i.e. it ignores LastValid argument passed in GetQuotes() call that informs the plugin about data that is already present in the database that should not be deleted by the plugin.

Tomasz, Are you referring to registering AB or the plug in?. My AB is registered and the data does not get saved to the database, even after running a scan. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tomasz Janeczko Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 9:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: OpenTick - anybody using them?

The symbol for the Dow $5 contract is /YMM7-EC. There were problems requesting historical data for futures. That has been fixed. There were also problems with the 5 and 15 second interval. That also has been fixed. Make sure that you are running version 0.1.2. Remember that this is still alpha software and has not even reached beta status. Probably the biggest problem, now, is that the data is not being stored to the local database. You restart AB and the data is gone. A request to AB support has been made and they are waiting for a replay. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dbw451 Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 7:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [amibroker] Re: OpenTick - anybody using them? CJ, what symbol did you use for the YM? I tried every combination of /YM<month><year>-<exchange> (e.g. /YMH7-EC) that I could think of and could not get a valid symbol for historical data. I also changed the setup to various servers thinking maybe futures data is handled on different servers than stock data. I took a look at historical stock data for MSFT and noticed a lot of bad (or maybe late) ticks which cause big spikes up and down on my charts. I'm guessing that those ticks are there in raw data feeds and services like eSignal and DTN filter them out. Since IB takes 200ms snapshots, it would be rare to exactly catch one of those blips using an IB feed. The CBOT does not charge an exchange fee for its real-time e-minis, so it's also free with opentick. Once I can get a valid YM symbol, I would like to test the opentick YM in real-time.

They have acknowledged a few problems and they are as fast as TJ to get fixes out, though one gets the impression that there are still some issues to be ironed out. I tried 1-min data for YM (Dow mini - it's free to test) but it looked more like tick data to me (though I haven't verified this). There does seem to be holes in the data here and there too. Also, I am not quite sure how the real-time is supposed to work (i.e. does it come automatically once requested or do I have to keep requesting it and refreshing the chart). Still, early days, and it does show potential.
