I could finally configure your plugin just some time back. Quite easy to configure if you follow all the steps in the video correctly. Will check tomorrow live, and see how it works. Just wondering if there is some other quicker way to add bulk symbols? and if the symbols could be added minus the exchange name in Amibroker ?
We wish we could remove just symbol name but NEST RTD server provides data with exchange name.
Please keep in mind, data is saved in download path and not in Amibroker on exit. One can always import it in Ami as shown in video. Many people use 1 min. IEOD as good data than just tick data.
There are 3 controls for data.
1.Plugin config window refresh rate settings decided how fast data should be pulled from your terminal and save to local file system. Keep refresh interval to 1 to 3 sec depends on machine config
2.Ami db settings, data interval you can set ami db to either 1 sec or 1 min. It will decide your default interval on chart. If you select 1 min, you will not see tick data option on chart.
3. Chart auto refresh speed. This allows you to decide how fast you want chart to be refreshed. You may have 40 symbols added in pull list but you want to look at only 3 charts at a time. You should configure chart formula with RequestTimedRefresh( 5 ); where value can be to 1 or may be 10. It will auto refresh chart after either every 1 sec or 10 sec etc. We kept it user configurable. http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/RequestTimedRefresh.html If you want to increase your heartbeats, make it to 1 sec. . If this value is not set, chart will not update automatically, it will update only when you will click on chart but plugin will keep pulling data from RTD server in background.
If NEST crashes, please reduce refresh interval. This is because NEST is not designed for data vending and is designed for trading.
If Data not coming, please ensure all symbols are in terminal. If you have future or option symbol and you are pulling data on last Friday (day after expiry), you need to clean up symbol list. This is because you will not get any data for old symbol any more from RTD and plugin will get error message from RTD.
If you pull data for some symbols which are not in terminal e.g. SBIN equity, NEST terminal will give data to plugin but will keep showing warning msg on NEST and pop up.
Please avoid such things.
We have tested app for NEST and NOW (needs separate topic names - can be taken from excel) for 40 symbols on 1 sec frequency. It works best. Please ensure NEST, AMI both run as Admin. This is for windows 7 and window 8.
