Hello, It was discussed dozen of times and all. The fact that you have given symbol in RT quote list does not mean you have historical data. RT quote displays only current quotes (no history). If you want to have history saved in local database you need to a) setup IQFeed as shown in the video: http://www.amibroker.com/video/IQFeed.html
b) access every symbol you want to have history by either displaying its chart, or running scan/exploration/backtest. No matter how given symbol data is accessed it will trigger backfill and get history from IQFeed. Once data are obtained from IQFeed, it will be saved in local database provided that "Local data storage" is set to "ENABLED" as in the video. If you are using AA to access data, make sure to run at least one scan with "wait for backfill" turned ON. This is essential as it guarantees that AmiBroker waits for IQFeed to respond with backfill data. It usually takes few seconds for IQFeed to respond for every backfill request. Otherwise AB will scan orders of magnitude faster than IQFeed is able to respond and you won't get data for all symbols. The backfill procedure does NOT differ, it is the same for QCollector and AB (request -> wait -> IQFeed responds - transfer the data - save).

Try to contact their support and tell them exactly what is the problem and be sure you installed everything fine with AB. Louis 2008/7/14 Tim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Here is DTN's response: Hello Tim, with saving data onto your computer it is actually up to AB or any other 3rd party software to do so not IQFeed. With IQFeed we provide the raw data from our quote servers and the historical data which is saved on our end then when you request the data, it will sent to you. I believe that there is a way to save the data within AB but not 100% sure how, so your best bet would be to contact AB Support to know for sure.
