can anyone let me know the symbol for SPI future expiring 2012/09 in Amibroker when using IB plugins, I tried APH0-SNFE-FUT-AUD APH9-SNFE-FUT-AUD SPI-SNFE-FUT-AUD etc, but no luck

Lately had a conversion with IB about the double commission fee for partially filled order, and was told the following policy: the order was held overnight and partially filled, it was considered a new order as the new day begin, therefore the commission is charged again for the new order...

so when will IB get the CHESS holdings issue resolved? I really want the right to participate the Share Purchase Plans

Hi all, I found this plugin very interesting and useful, but I can not get this plugin installed, I am using Amibroker 5.4 64bit, and copied the file "GP_Stops.dll" into the AmiBroker "Plugins" folder, but after I start Amibroker, this plugin is not loaded when looking at "Tools->Plug-ins". Is...

I recently added future into may trading capabilities, and got confirmation from IB. But when I tried to trade SPI index future in my paper trading account, I got "no trading permission", why was that?

Today I made the first transaction in IB, however, the margin does not look right and I could not place further order with my account. Specifically, I initially had AU$10,000 cash, and today's transaction worth AU$3874, commission $6, but I am having the following account information: cash...

Thanks Village, do you have the answer for my another question: if I do use margin, can I pay back the loan to IB anytime when I have sufficient cash? By the way, I am buying stocks in the same currency as my base currency.

WiseTrader has Toolbox for sale at US$299, have you tried the Toolbox? If yes, any comments?

I just found that the watchlist could be modified by editing the file "index.txt"

Hi all, I just ordered the Amibroker Pro and now try the Premium Data, but it looks like there is something wrong with the watchlist in the premium database. When I expand the "Watchlist" in the "Symbols" tab, there are a lot of invisible watchlists (name is blank) in the beginning (the first...

Thanks! I am currently trying Amibroker and QuoteTracker, just not sure if Amibroker can obtain the live data from QuoteTracker in a timely manner, as the calculation of this tick index requires the ticks of all the ASX stocks.

Hi, I wonder how to find the tick index of ASX, being the difference between the number of stocks on an uptick and the number of stocks on a downtick. I am using commsec. Thanks!

Thanks Howard, So time can be saved by backfilling fewer records that occurred since last update up to current time, instead of reloading records for the entire day. Is that the purpose of backfill?
