> TJ: when having two installations in DIFFERENT folders there are NO folders shared by default ...
Well, I have v4.80.1 (eod) and v4.89.0 (1 minute) installed on the same computer in different folders:
- E:\AmiBroker
- E:\AmiBrokerR
Eod database is: D:\AmiBroker\Data2
RT database is: D:\AmiBroker\Data4
When I first tried to access AA on the new installation it just defaulted to formulas folder from the old installation. After fixing that and then trying to access AA from the old installation, it opened formula folder from the new installation. This must have something to do with the registry. Personally, I find it better to use a single folder for both installations and have no complaints.
> TJ: You don't need two installations. From Single installation you can run multiple times and load different databases.
Switching between databases when you trade in real time is inconvenient. "Mixed eod/intraday" data sounds like a solution but there are a few issues:
1) There were some reports on this forum from users about formulas that got "confused" using mixed data.
2) How to extract only-eod and only-intraday data for export to ASCii files, in case you want to use that data with other charting programs.
3) Maintaining clean data in mixed mode sounds like a nightmare. What about a situation when you watch some ticker in RT for a week and then forget about it. You end-up with the file which is mostly eod and has a few days of RT a few months back. A script to clean this out would be needed.
