Rajandran,Many thanks for this. Wondering is it possible to develop a simple excel based trading system sri
I have downloaded it–but after extraction–my A/V system is detecting a Server.exe malware–although it may ba false alarm or may not damage AMI/MT4 file–please confirm me–is it absolutely safe–???Presently I am using QT plugin for AMI(Live Yahoo NSE SPOT INDEX)–[email protected]
Its not an malware
Should I add an exception for this MT4 plug-in in my Mcafee A/V–because Rateserver.exe is being deleted automatically by the Mcafee System—-
Hello–Raj–I am waiting for your response–should I ignore this rateserver.exe virus/malware-Trojan Type warning & go on to install it in my system–Please confirm.
Rate Server is not an virus… It just extracts the data from metatrader and feed into amibroker
Can you please specify the settings to be made on the rate server window, i.e Port: and data_count
Rate Server Doesnt need any special Settings
click exp.mqh and compilecouldnt find this!!
i m not able to configuire meta trader to amibroker. i do whole process, all things is correct but script not added in rateserver task tray.
I am running windows Vista 64 bit with Amibroker 5.2 Professional . I installed the plug in as instructed with no problems. What I did notice is that when I checked the database settings configuration area the server information was blank with a port setting of 1950. All the plug in will do is show “wait” upon starting then no change. I then try to “connect” with the server but it then reads error. Can you help?
Thanks, William
Can this work in windows 7 system?
i m not able to configuire meta trader to amibroker. i complete the whole process, all things is correct but script not added in rateserver task tray.

Dear sir,
how reliable are harmonic patterns for intraday trading ?
tx
@jitin hadnt checked. But chances of high probablities at 15min and hourly timeframe
Dear SIR ,
The drawback of Patterns is that they get extended as the price rise or fall further after the pattern has been made , be it a 5 min, 15 min or hrly chart .
For eg. a bearish pattern is made at 5900 nifty , but as nifty extends further to 5940 , the pattern does not change but the pattern gets extended . Any way out in such a case ?

@Rajandran …… I am using Windows Vista 32 bit. Does MT4 to Amibroker Plugin support Vista platform ?
What i observed is that data sometimes comes in Amibroker but then suddently MT4 hangs or gets closed. Is there any specific change required. Sometimes data is downloaded sometimes not…. I am not able to find out the exact reason for the problem.
Hello,
Thanks for offering this plugin.
I’m using this plugin for some time, It works OK, while somewhat slow (perhaps my indicators have part of the responsability …)
I’d like to upgrade to amibroker 64 bits version, but amibroker webpage states:
old 32 bit plugins do not work with 64 bit applications
Do you have plans to write a 64 bits version of your plugin?
Cheers
Hi Rajendran,
I have followed the complete steps. After adding the symbol in Ami, i clicked on the plugin and changed it from waiting to connect. For a moment it shows “Conneced , ok” then immediately goes into “Err” mode and displays a message saying that “Plugin status disconnected”. All my settings are correct.
Please help me.
Thanks
Kiran
Dear Rajendran,
Please help how to get this corrected in Amibroker as i am getting plugin disconnected status.
Moreover, the quotes are not displayed in rateserver.
Regards
Kiran
