Daniel,
I beleive you can already do this. My current setup is quite similar:
I enable mixed EOD/Intraday mode.
I use Yahoo EOD quotes updated via AmiQuote (I had to change the
format in order to have unadjusted close for History), and also for
ticker name and the fundumental data provided.
I then enabled the IB Plugin which currently backfills my db intraday.
Symbol differences can be solved using the symbol mapping function in
Amiquote.
What is neat about this setup is that even if you trade EOD, you have
confirmation of current prices in the daily chart (last bar gets
updated in realtime) - this I find is important for me, especially
since I also use Amibroker as my trading platform and hardly ever
touch TWS.
My reason for wanting to replace intraday backfills with IQFeed is
that IB is not coping with my intraday backfill requests (some data
pacing violation message), and it's taking me lots of time everyday
just to get my database in order.
MarketDelta, another program which uses IQFeed advertises that there
is a backfill-only service (for those who want to use IQFeed tick
backfills together with IB for realtime) from IQFeed costing $25. If
this works also with Amibroker (I have not confirmed this yet) then
this would save me around $70 a month (assuming no requirement to
subscribe to the exchanges from the IQFeed side when using only
backfill).
