One-time setup
To use AmiBroker with myTrack feed you will need to perform a one-time
setup described below:
- Run AmiBroker
- Choose File->New database
- Type a new folder name (for example: C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\myTrack
) and click Create as shown in the picture below:
- Choose myTrack RT data Plug-in from Data source combo
and "Enable" from Local data storage
- Click on Configure button to show plugin configuration dialog as
shown below
Enter here your myTrack user and password . You may also adjust Number
of symbols. This should not exceed your account limit.
Click OK
- Now choose Base time interval. Note that supported bar intervals are
1 minute and daily (end-of-day).
If you want to have long daily histories AND intraday charts you should consider
running TWO instances of AmiBroker. One for EOD charts and second for intraday
charting. Both instances may use myTrack as a data source.
- Click OK.
From now on your AmiBroker reads quotes directly from the myTrack.
