pipster3000 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hey Guys, Thanks for all the amazing shares. I'm very interested to work with Amibroker now with the programming and scanning tools. I wasted a lot of time getting the data to work so now I can save you some. #1. Start your MT4, Tools > Options > Server > Enable DDE #2. Refer to screenshots to configure in Amibroker med***iafire.c***om/?lck850a9bi4u7d1 Ajata, KelvinHand, metal1713006284 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipster3000 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 To get the data to work properly after you have done the steps in the first post: #1. Open the chart you want data for in MT4 #2. Add the symbol in Amibroker #3. Click on the symbol in the symbol list (if you set your chart to tick data, you will start receiving after 3 ticks) indo37 and Ajata 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the symbol in Amibroker #3. Click on the symbol in the symbol list (if you set your chart to tick data, you will start receiving after 3 ticks) Does Amibroker store the live data and can historical tick or 1 minute data be backfilled using the DDE?

Bill Bundle Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Please help, I am unable to set up the DDE connection, tried everything and failed.:(( Mine is Amibroker version 5.3 MT4 Build 438 The links on above posts are also not working.:(( Have you tried the educated version of myQuotes? http://indo-investasi.com/showthread.php/19321-(REQ)-John-maddog-doe-Help-with-myQuotes?p=243155&viewfull=1#post243155 The Amibroker website has some guidelines for a DDE connection to MT4. http://www.amibroker.com/dde.html I was using the DDE connection to ThinkOrSwim (TOS), but since it doesn't backfill nor allow trade simulations I'm now using myQuotes for the data stream. The difference is that the DDE connection is real time and myQuotes has a 15 minute delay. Right now the delay doesn't bother me, because I'm just collecting data for the bar replay at a later time. Marketcalls also has some good ideas to help with Amibroker. http://www.marketcalls.in/amibroker/my-quotes-free-yahoo-intraday-realtime-data-update-for-amibroker.html MT4 Plugin for Amibroker http://www.marketcalls.in/amibroker/mt4-plugin-for-amibroker.html indo37 and hellboy1713006415 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indo37 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks Bill! But to my knowledge DDE will NEVER give backfill data. So when I used it (many moons ago) I started the DDE server and AB early to catch enough data for the calculation of my indicators.

So when I used it (many moons ago) I started the DDE server and AB early to catch enough data for the calculation of my indicators. Yes, you're right. It doesn't provide backfill data and neither does myQuotes. I was using the DDE connection ..., but since it doesn't backfill nor allow trade simulations I'm now using myQuotes for the data stream. ...I'm just collecting data for the bar replay at a later time. If you're looking for historical data for Amibroker's bar replay, I've made at several posts in the past that have links to available download of bulk data.

FX_SuperTrader Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I do not use Amibroker, but I had this pluggin for connect MT4 to Amibroker. I don´t know if work in all versions. I believe that you have backfilling because work with Rateserver. hxxp://depositfiles.c0m/files/925kemx5a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill Bundle; All explanation of how to install, in this web site: http://www.marketcalls.in/amibroker/mt4-plugin-for-amibroker.html Also, you can download this pluggin from here Edited October 3, 2012 by FX_SuperTrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellboy1713006415 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 And run the plugin in xp compatibility mode.But there is latency unlike DDE mode. I could make Amibroker work in DDE mode with MT4 but it was a long and treacherous trial and error process.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX_SuperTrader Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I do not work with Amibroker; but I understand than with DDE mode you can connect, but without backfilling, you must import historical data. With this pluggin you have backfilling. But the question is: How many ticks of difference does there be between the mode DDE and the pluggin? (I don´t know). This is a latency problem.

hellboy1713006415 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 With plugin one can only get 1 minute minimum resolution not ticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bundle Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 With plugin one can only get 1 minute minimum resolution not ticks. Amibroker's database has a setting to accept ticks. Did you check the database settings and set them for ticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
