Re: [amibroker] Questions from a new amibroker user

["Joe Landry" <jelandry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Backlash:  - Welcome to the forum.

In answer to and IMHO 

1) I use Quotes Plus for EOD data and Interactive Broker for realtime data.

QP has not "jerked" me around very much in 4 years, only once where they changed

the industry group organization a few weeks back;  where I see Yahoo data questions on this forum quite frequently.

It looks like some of the changes implemented by Yahoo are easy to adjust to or adapt. But if you're

serious  I'd say $30-40 a month is inexpensive for QP software and data.  The other popular source

with our local group is TeleChart 2005.   

2) Masterdata looks to me to be the best source for ETF names, component of ETF and breadth metrics.

3) I don't know. You'll probably have to show more code than the 1 line statement.

 

I beg an apology to those who live with Yahoo data and are quite serious since I happen to know one person in our Texas groups who does.

 

Hope this helps

Joe L.

Subject: [amibroker] Questions from a new amibroker user

Hello I'm new to stock trading and amibroker and I have a few
questions, thanks in advance to any help.

1) how good is yahoo's EOD data? Is there another reliable source
(free or inexpensive) that is better?

2) Where i can et a list of stock etfs? I found this one
http://www.masterdata.com/HelpFiles/ETF_List.htm but I'm loing for one
without the Money market funds or MUNI's etc.

3) I'm having a hard time implementing this stop loss on the
backtester, I'm trying to have the stop loss every day be the lowest
low of the last x bars.
stop = llv(l,3) like that but the apply stop line isn't working for me.

Thanks
