We are excited to announce that OpenAlgo now supports AmiQuotes, making it easier than ever to update live trading data in Amibroker. This powerful integration ensures that traders can stay up-to-date with real-time market movements, enhancing their decision-making and trading strategies.
What is AmiQuotes?
AmiQuotes is a lightweight tool that bridges external data sources and Amibroker, a popular technical analysis and charting platform. It fetches live or delayed data and feeds it directly into Amibroker for real-time updates. With AmiQuotes, traders can access data from multiple sources without manual intervention, streamlining their workflow.
How Does It Work?
Here’s a quick overview of the workflow:
- Broker Connection: OpenAlgo connects to your broker to fetch live or delayed data.
- Data Formatting: The data is processed and formatted to match the requirements of AmiQuotes.
- Automatic Updates: Using AmiQuotes, the formatted data is sent to Amibroker, ensuring that your charts and analysis are updated every minute.
This seamless integration is designed to work out of the box, requiring minimal setup on your part.
