OK so I have found the setup guide in this forum (http://www.amibroker.org/3rdparty/ASX_Setup/) and have set it up as per the step by step guide, and now when I try to import the data from the web site http://www.asxhistoricaldata.com/ I get the following error and I'm not too sure why...

Hi All, Sorry for the dumb question but how do you add an ASX stock code's to Amibroker? I have it set up to use IB data and I can find the code in IB but if I type the code into Amibroker it keeps saying the symbol is invalid. Not to sure if I need to start a new DB or not. Thanks...

Hi All, Just seen that there is a new ASX data feed on IB for free: Australia Chi-X Exchange I have added this but not to sure if it's delayed or not it did not say it was with-in the IB Data managment page. It's just that when I open a chart in IB it will give me the option to go back...

OK I think that I posted this in hast as I have spent last night playing with Amibroker and have finaly got it to receve data from IB. Looking at the two programs they are very diffrent in one that tells you what to buy and the other gives you charts and stuff (but you all already know that...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has used the software "Netquote Prophet" (http://asx.netquote.com.au/prophet.asp) and could let me know if it's any good. I have read the web page and it seems simple to use but I cannot find any reviews on the net about it. I was looking at Amibroker...

Thanks Tanaka, that was what I was trying to get my head around.

Not to sure if this is the place for tax questions but I need some advice from the users that have done tax in the US before. I was reading the IRS.gov sight and found this: "NOTE: If your only U.S. business activity is trading in stocks, securities, or commodities (including hedging...

Hi Donkey, I'm new to the game as well and I'm not too sure if this is for you but I have opened an account with IB and use their TWS software for the trades. You will have to pay for some market feeds as is the case with most real-time quotes, I will be sticking with this (I know there are...

I'm only dealing with the US at the moment but that seems to happen to me around the time the market opens. Only for about 20 secs or so and then it's back.

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a free way to get upto date ASX data through IB, have been through the account settings page but they are asking for $36 odd gold coins to get it. Any help will be fantastic. lost872

Yes on the first one as they will not let you open an account with getting so many points, also when you say "prove" they don't ask for any records of the previous trading. On the second I have been trying my luck in the US stocks so have had no need to add any more to date.

Hi sparkie, I have just set up an account at Interactive Brokers (Online) and they seem good to start with, I have also just jumped into the market as a newby. Bit of a pain setting up and you will need around $10,000.00 USD to open the account. Might also pay to wait a bit to see if...

And I just found that you have to select WIRE not BILL PAYMENT, my brain is just not working today.
