There is no "optimum number of quotes for a stock."
 
Oh, there might be for a certain period of time in the past, but there is no assurance that number will be optimum in the future.
 
What was optimum in an up market could kill you if the market goes into consolidation, or turns down.
 
The developer can not associate such a number with a stock because there is no such number.
 
The market is very dynamic. Analysis must also be dynamic.
 
Use numbers frozen in time and watch your funds creep away.

Gents,
 
I agree with the statement on using multi-AIO too frequently.  It has been my understanding that one should use multi-AIO when first starting to follow a stock in order to pick the optimum number of quotes for that stock.  Once the optimum number of quotes is established, one holds it constant over time.  That is why I have suggested the developer associate the optimum number of quotes with the stock symbol by including it in opd.txt or opw.txt as appropriate.
