Re: [amibroker] Meta Trader Data (Question for Dave MacKay)



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I just use it for current trading, swing trading......... and it is fine for that.......

However, due to no volume..... some indicators are invalid..... and due to no backfill..... you have to have your program running all week.......

Not great,but cheaper than Esignal. which I believe would cost in excess of $100 monthly,

I think IB has the feed which can go through easily, however I use Oanda as a broker.....

I've set up DDE before with out too much issue, though I see the real
issue being the lack of backfill data. Metatrader doesn't backfill
through DDE - it's only incoming data.

Unless your atrategy and associated indicators only rely on incoming
data, DDE wouldn't be that much good from what I see.
