Hi All:
All of us Ameritrade customers should contact them and request that THEY write a plugin to AB like Tomasz suggested.
After all Ameritrade is getting my commissions money not AB.
Question: from previous posts it appears that IB has some problems with backfilling RT and providing intra-day historical data. In others experience is Ameritrade data of sufficient quality to use for backtesting / RT trading?
I currently use the TDAmeritrade Quote Tracker interface to help trade entry/exits with my EOD setups.
Any experiences, thoughts, are appreciated.
Regards,
thalamizer
