Re: [amibroker] VECTORVEST - my basic hope

Hello,

I am investigating this issue. I checked www.vectorvest.com for developer information but couldn't find anything.
I asked numerous VV users about details and currently I know only that VV uses MS Access database.
Someone told me also that VV has no interest in supporting third-party solutions.

So I have to contact someone from VV to get the permission to use their data and to get some samples and/or
developer information. Without this I can not do anything.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
