hello,
Below is code snippet from the files section of AT . basically Amibroker
creates a text file and ninjatrader picksup the files and places orders.
question is, how is the
"fileischanged" being used here ?. I see that after a change its value is set
to 1. Is this just to let ninjatrader know that file has changed. I dont know
why this vaiable is used here?.
any thoughts?. thanks,Padhu
