In our original interface (old style), the data was returned ascending. However, the newer interfaces, which Amibroker now uses (as far as I know), return the data descending, and returns the data 10 ticks/bars at a time to the client. Thus, you no longer have to wait until you receive all of the data in order to start seeing it appear on charts. I know Tomasz did a lot of work in the past few months on the IQFeed interface, and it is my understanding that it is much better than a year+ ago. Hopefully with the release of our new servers, things will be even better.
