Title: Re: [amibroker] Re: eSignal + TWS

Yes, Esignal can be used while trading the TWS without problems. Which data your system uses simply depends on which Data Plug-in you have selected in AB.


What seems new is that the TWS actually uses eSignal data in their display and for trading (IB plug-in). Does this mean that they are abolishing "Snapshots"? If not, why would IB use eSignal but only provide an eSignal data sampling to their customers?


I can see advantages and disadvantages... a useful implementation would be where one can select either true real-time data (eSignal) OR snapshots derived from eSignal data (at 3/sec). Snapshots data is preferred in RT trading when scanning the market and/or when trading many tickers. Ideally the IB Snapshot function should be a IB-user option.
