if you want RT without backfill, why not try Ib.

Richard, You must be reading my mind. I was wondering about your position on RT and Div Adjusted data. I had a superficial look at Bourse last week - they appear to be inward looking - no external compatibility - I think they have also dropped option chains which I thought was their big plus. Yes, Pulse is operative and with DDE but there's no price advantage cf say, ESignal - my thinking is that there's no point asking Tomasz to write up a plugin for Aussie RT because it would only be ESignal equivalent. Also as you say I suspect there is little demand (it appears the majority are happy to push data to AB from their broker). Always appreciate your specialist comments. brian_z --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:amibroker%40yahoogroups.com> ps.com, "Richard Dale" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > BourseData was purchased by MDS Financial (ASX:MWS) through the issue of 63 > million shares (then valued at $0.135 now $0.05) - the same people that are > Cube Financial Group and (back in the late 1990s/early 2000s TradeTech the > educator).
