I do get an error message when executing rateserver.exe. Any idea why this may be the case?

[Guest lambic]

No idea sorry. For me no problem with windows seven

[metal1713006284]

sherlock the reason maybe that rateserver should be called in cmd rateserverB like in file

Amibroker also has a DLL to link to ThinkOrSwim (TOS) while both are open. Amibroker feeds on the data from TOS while its logged on to TD Ameritrade. This is one way to get live data and use your favorite Amibroker indicators for analysis to do your trades on TOS. This is using two platforms for analysis and one for trades.

Is this a link to the MetaTrader platform or a link directly to data provider?

[Guest lambic]

rateserver is a link between a MT4 platform and Amibroker. See instructions in the zip file

I came across some discussions about a simulated live data feed from Yahoo in another forum and I thought you guys might be interested in reading this method. What is not mentioned in these messages is that you have to be logged into your Yahoo account (like Yahoo email) with the Yahoo Finance webpage active in your browser. I think the newer versions of AmiQuote have this function builtin; so that's why we need a cracked version of the new AmiQuote.

Amibroker and Free Intraday Data ( Real time ) !

http://www.traderji.com/intraday/13363-amibroker-free-intraday-data-real-time.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all,

I dont know how far or how well it works but i found a file that explain to get yahoo data to AB free , just try you luck and if possible make better documentation for it.

 

Hello Everyone,

 

This is the way I take free REALTime Data from yahoo ( free of any 3rd party progs or plugins) only with amiquote and amibroker.

VERY VERY IMP FIRST YOU TAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR AMIBROKER DIRECTORY . This is very important.

We now start with the operation Realtime Yahoo Free

First the basics to get it clear so that u should also understand what we are doing ok

You all must have used amiquote earlier with yahoo current. If u take nseyahoosymols as tls files and load it in amibroker u get data from yahoo but till now it was delayed even if are logged in yahoo

But the recent amiquote has an option to allow yahoo cookies after u are logged in yahoo finance so that was an hidden additional feature which many didn’t took it seriously but it is the same thing what other softwares made here in INDIA which many are using it for realtime data from yahoo to ami. They all say one thing first log in with ur id at yahoo finance to get rt data . Here we also have to log in yahoo finace and keep logged to get rt data with amiquote ok

 

Now what happens when u run amiquote & what type of data it gets which we use it for realtime basis

 

1ST YAHOO DON’T GIVE DATA LESS THAN 1 MINUTE BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE TIMESTAMP LESS THAN A MINUTE.

 

SECONDLY IT DOESN’T GIVES U Indian makt hours in the time stamp so how can we have that in amiroker.

Over to that 1st make a new database in amibroker as amitry as per below given method

keep base time interval as tick then in intraday settings select 24 hours time 9:30 to 15:30

select exchange time/ local ( I have yet to see the differencr in this feature) then in the below given box timeshift write 10

 

now after u click on ok

 

u have to click on create so an empty database is created

BUT AFTER U DO THAT U HAVE TO SAVE THIS EMPTY DATBASE SO THAT THE TIMESHIFT IS RECORDED IN IT.

 

After u do close ami and reopen and load this amitry database

Then click from file menu database settings And go to intraday settings and recheck that the 10 which we have put in the time shift box is intact If it shows as 0 read zero change it

to 10 and again save the database Now it will be fixed.

 

Actually with 10 we would be ahead by some 30 minutes with ref to our mkt time. We At present cant do anything because the time shift as taken my amibroker can only take in hours it does not take minutes.

 

I think Only Tomaz can help it because if he wants he can allow hours & minutes.

Normally the time shift should be in 30 mins slab. I don’t know why it is kept as only hours. Anyway we have to bear with this BUG after all we are going to get free data in RT mode ok

 

Now very imp part

 

How amiquote gets data from yahoo afterlogged in

The file which amiquote gets is 1 or more files depending on the symbols u have in ur tls file

 

But that is the input for amibroker to put the data in amibroker chart ok

"ABB.NS","ABB LTD.",3730.20,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+77.30,3669.00,3755.00,3623.00,7755 4

"ACC.NS","ASSOCIATED CEMENT",749.95,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+23.60,729.85,750.00,726.00,822345

"ALBK.NS","ALLAHABAD BANK",73.05,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+0.95,70.20,73.80,70.20,111529

"ALOKTEXT.NS","ALOK INDUSTRIES L",59.05,"4/13/2007","6:00am",+0.20,55.00,60.00,55.00,81295

ok and with what is this data updated I mean .format file the name of the format file is aqd.format which u can change it to .txt file and load it in notepad

 

It looks like this

# AmiQuote daily download format (.AQD extension)

# Revision 1.1 (previous version had missing Date_MDY field)

# Revision 1.2 (added $STRICT 1)

$FORMAT Ticker,FullName,Close,Date_MDY,Skip,Skip,Open,High ,Low,Volume

$SKIPLINES 0

$SEPARATOR ,

$DEBUG 1

$AUTOADD 1

$CONT 1

$GROUP 254

$BREAKONERR 0

$STRICT 1

 

We have to change this as below to put in the realtime data from yahoo to amibroker with out any 3 rd party progs

 

SO here is the modified aqd.format for rt data

 

# AmiQuote daily download format (.AQD extension)

# Revision 1.1 (previous version had missing Date_MDY field)

# Revision 1.2 (added $STRICT 1)

# Revised for RT data from yahoo in Rt mode

$FORMAT Ticker,FullName,Close,Date_MDY,Time,Skip,Skip,Skip ,Skip,Volume

$SKIPLINES 0

$SEPARATOR ,

$DEBUG 1

$AUTOADD 1

$CONT 1

$GROUP 254

$BREAKONERR 0

$STRICT 1

 

copy this above and save it to format dir as aqd.format.rt for time being

 

ok now change the old filename aqd.format to aqd.format.eod and again rename our newly mad aqd.format.rt to aqd.format

 

Now close all progs esp amibroker & amiquote

 

Before our Indian mkt starts at 9:55

We have to 1st log in yahoo finance

Then start amibroker and load amitry database ( u can use any name I have used it as amitry ok)

Then fire up Amiquote and load the nse yahoo symbol.tls

 

And select yahoo current and click the green so that it starts running also select the

Autoimport box and put 1 in run every one minute

 

This is the secret to get FREE RT DATA IN RT MODE IN AMIBROKER. ONLY THING IS YAHOO DON’T GIVE BARWISE VOLS SO U HAVE TO MAKE AN AFL FOR VOLUME TO DEDUCT THE PREVIOUS BARS VOLUME FROM CURRENT AR VOLUME TO GET THE TRUE BAR WISE VOLUME

 

My SUGGESTION IS TO USE ANY TIMEFRAME GREATER THAN 3 MINUTE BARS TO GET A REAL TRUE PICTURE

 

The only thing I would request Tomaz here again and I think this the 3rd time I have made this request to make the timeshift atleast in

half hour 30 mins slabs than the current 1 hour slabs

 

Even in windows reginal settings the time slabs are in 30 mins

All the credit here goes to Tomaz for his recent feature addition in amiquiote to allow recognize yahoo cookies.

 

This whole game is based on yahoo cookies after u are logged in yahoo finance…

Get Free RT data in Rt mode in Amiroker

http://www.traderji.com/data-feeds/12438-get-free-rt-data-rt-mode-amiroker-2.html#post179202

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Friends,

 

To all those who have queries 4 rt data in rt mode with amiquote directly to amibroker.

Please read reread the doc uploaded by Hetal

 

1st backup ur original aqd.format as aqd.format.eod 4 backup purpose. if you miss this as per the instruction u may have to reinstall the sware you have to keep the backup of the aqd.format as aqd.format.eod and then copy the format as given below and name it as aqd.format.rt

these .eod and .rt are 4 backup porpose only so u can switch to rt & eod mode as per ur requirement so when u want rt data copy the aqd.format.rt to format dir as aqd.format if asked overwrite say yes and same when u want eod data copy the aqd.format.eod as aqd.format

and if ask overwrite say yes

 

Please try to understand first how amiquote is getting data from *****

it is stored in amiquote\download dir where it automatically imports it in ami provided you have marked the check box in amiquote 4 auto

import.

Open the fetched data with excel or notepad and see what amiquote gets from ***** then rest is all easy as given below

 

# AmiQuote daily download format (.AQD extension)

# Revision 1.1 (previous version had missing Date_MDY field)

# Revision 1.2 (added $STRICT 1)

$FORMAT Ticker,FullName,Close,Date_MDY,Time,Skip,Skip,Skip ,Skip,Volume

$TIMESHIFT 9.50

$SKIPLINES 0

$SEPARATOR ,

$DEBUG 1

$AUTOADD 1

$CONT 1

$GROUP 255

$BREAKONERR 0

 

save this as aqd.format.rt

 

and lso backup ur original aqd.format as aqd.format.eod

Hope this should solve all the problem.

But remeber data fetched by amiquote is in 1 min not lesser than that because of ***** timestamp dont have seconds and so maybe Tj's

amiquote fetch time is capped to least at 1 min.

Regards

-sanjayt

One other item that I unfortuanately don't have documentation on is this code for downloading historical 1 minute data from Yahoo, because I don't know what to do with Yahoo's timestamp. Otherwise, with a little editing, this data can be imported into Amibroker for the market replay. If I find more information, I'll post it.

There's a number of websites offering free downloads of MT4, will anyone of these work with rateserver? Where does rateserver get its data?

I'd like to try your link; however, this download site requires membership to download files. Please use a diffferrent file storage website site like depositfiles.com, limelinx.com or mediafire.com. Thank you for your help.

[Guest lambic]

Let me explain again. The data come from any Mt4 platform via the EA and rateserver take the data and deserve amibroker via the plugin. So you can use via any Mt4 platform. I don't understand the membership for 2shared, just click as explain below above file URL, no membership needed. But anyway, here is another link with deposit :

... here is another link with deposit

Thanks for your effort. I'll try it out. I haven't used MetaTrader before.

 

Later results after installation:

When I open MT4, it asks me to logon. I'm not registered; so I cancelled the logon. RateServer didn't popup so I ran it manually. Then ran Amibroker, created a new database, linked the plugin and imported forex symbols. The connection light on Amibroker turned yellow saying "WAIT"; so I clicked on the run button on the RateServer popup and nothing happened. Amibroker is still in "WAIT" mode. What do I do?

 

Should I get MT4 from the same website that you did? Are stock quotes available for MT4?

Edited June 2, 2012 by Bill Bundle

[lerxst]

Hey Bill, Open a demo account on the MT4 platform and just fill in any information. Once you have the MT4 demo running, apply the EA to the pairs and timeframe you want to port over to Amiboker. Then open rate server and Amibroker, works here.

[Guest lambic]

Maybe, in order to get the connection, right click the " wait " status and you will have a menu where you can choose connect or not.

Hi lambic,

 

Now it works for me. How do I get this chart layout or at least the backround with a lighter tone at the top and darker at the bottom?

[Guest lambic]

Just add those 2 lines at the beginning of the code (edition)

 

SetChartBkColor(ParamColor("Outer Panel",colorPaleBlue));

SetChartBkGradientFill(ParamColor("Upper Chart",1),ParamColor("Lower Chart",23));

Most of the brokers that I've come across with MT4 have a time limited demo account and I'm looking for one where I can have an unlimited demo. That's what I did with ThinkOrSwim (TOS) before they merged with TD Ameritrade. I still have there demo (aka papermoney) account and there is no time limit. As I said earlier, I can link Amibroker with TOS just as you are linking Amibroker with MT4.

 

Do you or anyone else here know of a broker using MT4 that allows the user to have unlimited use of their demo account? Also, I would like the broker to allow access to include stock data. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Does this unlimited MT4 demo require that I open a live account to have the unlimited demo account?

This account is time limited. Please confirm your recommendations before posting them.

This demo account and its access to realtime quotes will expire on Tuesday, July 03, 2012. To ensure you have continuing access to this account and realtime quotes open a Trading account now.

I have used the demo daily for the last 50 days with no problems.

[Bill Bundle]

Ok. I didn't know that. I registered for the account for stocks, commodities and futures. Should I switch over to forex? Which MT4 should I use: the Free EXN MT4 Client or Pay for Limits MT4 Client? Actually, do you think the stocks, commodities and futures account go past 90 days?
