Works as advertised! Kudos & Thanks! It's a nice enhancement indeed. As always the new version of the utility runs butter smooth and fuss free.
There are some bumps on the road to a 'single shot' solution though,
. At present the data capture implementation is akin to a technology demonstrator which demonstrates the possibilities, however the ensuing output of CDS~CNXNIFTY is not practically usable because of some factors.
1. If the code is implemented at amibroker's end (as described by yusi) for a 'synthetic plot', the OHLC plot would be fine, but any indicator on chart e.g SAR etc will align itself with the value of the 'actual price data' which is 100th less.
2. In this scenario if a backfill is done by any extraneous data (or a merger with an existing database), the correct data will skew the chart as that data too will be multiplied by a factor of 100. So a value of 6100 will become 610000.
3. If the data is used as it is, i.e no multiplication factor applied, then the drudgery of rebuilding the database for a duration of time (for it to be analytically useful) as a separate symbol applies. Even then the constraints of a no backfill (Thanks to NOW
) make it a somewhat unreliable proposition in cases of net disconnection or worse.
These constraints can be overcome by convoluted workarounds in ami but the limited gain in terms of only one symbol doesn't quite justify the convolutions.
In this scenario,
if the data points could be applied the X 100 factor by NOW2Ami, post capture and pre pushing to ami, almost all constraints can be overcome. The backfill can then be called from 'gdata' and the data can be merged with an existing database as well.
@yusi - {Req} Would this be in the realm of possible implementation and doability?!
