Amibroker FAQ

Jump to new
Purchased Amibroker today and have setup the EOD with Norgate and it is working fine. I had also purchased the intraday option on norgate but have no idea on how to get end of day and intraday working together with Amibroker. I purchased the ASX data.

Does anyone know if it is possible having both end of day and intraday working together on Amibroker? If so could I someone point to me to a website or how to so I can get both working? It would be a pity to pay for Intraday if I am unable to use it.

Cheers
Darren

You could create two separate data bases (otherwise ask their support because I don't use Norgate). One DB for intra-day and the other one for EOD. But IMO, the intra-day data of Norgate is pretty useless since as per their website info the data is delayed by 20 minutes. And it's snapshots taken every hour. Do you want to use it for intra-day trading? If so I would suggest to you to use a real-time vendor.
 
Click on the "Symbols" tab on the left handside, click and expand "Markets" folder and hopefully you'll see Intraday or Realtime file.
That's how mine is setup.

I'm not with Norgate.

Hope this works for you.

If it's code you've purchased then it would be worthwhile getting in touch with the author and getting the 3rd party plugin debugged as there's been a lot of changes to AB since 5.50. If the author is who I think it is then I'm sure he'd be happy to sort it out as he's recently started advertising an Amibroker coding business.
 
Need help with converting numeric dates to real proper dates (04/01/2013) for Automatic Analysis.
Did look in Amibroker help reference, couldn't get my head around DateNUm(), etc...


//Dividend, Yield and dates

DIV = GetFnData("DividendPerShare");
DIV_PAY_DATE = GetFnData ("DividendPayDate");
DIV_EX_DATE = GetFnData("ExDividendDate");
DIVYield = (GetFnData("DividendPerShare") / C) * 100;
Filter = DIV;
DateNum ();
AddColumn(C,"Close", 1.3);
AddColumn( DIV, "DPS");
AddColumn( DIVYield, "Dividend Yield %", 1.3);


AddColumn (DIV_EX_DATE, "Ex Date");
AddColumn (DIV_PAY_DATE, "Pay Date");

I wonder if he ever updates the code at all.

No idea, I only code/trade my own systems. I'm sure Nick would be happy to answer any questions you have if you're interested in them. I helped with some of the book code in the early stages (I'm katarapko42 on Nick's forum & mentioned in the front of Holy Grails) but didn't have anything to do with the finished product.

I guess it's pretty good for $660 and 10 minutes a day (especially when compared to a financial advisor or fund manager), but some of them look to go a year or more without profit growth. Hard to see exactly with the small charts.

I've been meaning to email him about Strategic Capital Management. Must get onto that. Apparently he knows the guy.

You know a fund manager that has not had a few losing years? This is the difference between successful system traders and ones that can't cut it. You need to expect and even welcome the drawdown...Its going to come.

10 minutes work per day, every day, and $660 for two losing years? No thanks!! I'd rather pay a fund manager.

No disrespect to you captain - I'm sure you've got some ripper systems that you trade now.

Can Oz has offered up AS AN EXAMPLE one of the systems in " Un Holy Grails."
Not Radges Method/s

I think he has had a double figure return on his offered to clients over the last 2 yrs.

Oh and if your just going to pay a fund manager what are you doing here?
