Real Time Data Now / Nest Trader to Amibroker, Fcharts

@rmike,
I have added support for multiplying price of "cde_fo|CNXNIFTY" by 100. Somebody with currency will have to test it on NOW or Nest.
if (settings.scrips_array[script_id].topic_name == "cde_fo|CNXNIFTY") newdata.ltp = newdata.ltp * 100 ;
new exe is uploaded here https://www.dropbox.com/s/wze9iurgtf9u037/RTDMan.exe?dl=0
edit - Please test this and revert. I have corrected the Bell code and tested. Bell rings if network down for given number of seconds. It is working fine.

Hi Josh
First of all thanks a ton for taking out the time and effort to recompile RTDMan Mod
Could only test after market hours. Posting only the (fairly preliminary) results & observations without outlining all the steps & permutations/ combinations as that would make this post too long
Downloaded RTD_1.26 and RTDMan Mod
Neither RTDMan Mod nor the bundled RTDMan picked up the tickers automatically from the watchlist. The backfill tool in conjunction with the bundled RTDMan could however pick up the watchlist tickers
With both versions of RTDMan, backfill couldn't be accomplished. Reconfirmed presence of format files by re running formats.exe as well as checking the files physically (am suspecting it could be a NOW pick up issue. While the data was present in the hourly stats, the resultant temp output text files of individual tickers, generated during the backfill process, were blank). Upon running the delete ticks process separately, a different watchlist was shown in GUI. The process was picking up preconfigured NOW watchlists (Nifty 50) rather than the live one
Modified the settings.ini manually for watchlist ticker inclusion and was then able to get Topic_connected status from both RTDMan versions
The RTDMan Mod works as desired. Index is being picked up with LTP output multiplied by 100 :thumb:, since this was after market close, the 1 min bars were of constant value (expectedly). The alarm function works fine. Though found the 'crying child' as a bit eerie, hence substituted it with a buzzer alarm. Did not carry out price and volume accuracy benchmarking
Main concerns pertain to the working of the GUI process. There's a fair bit that appears to be awry there. The code appears to be kinda open ended in the sense that the process is launching child process clones with subsequent command clicks. The resultant memory leak mounts with each such event. Last checked the memory leak was upwards of 17 Mb which is way beyond acceptable. The process does not appear to exit cleanly with consistency, hence resultant force closures and blank chart phenomena are just waiting around the corner
Not an issue during testing, but would upset the attention equilibrium during live trading
As it stands currently, using RTDMan Mod with settings.ini by directly invoking it as a console app is the best stable bet (at least in conjunction with NOW)
Regards,

josh / shankar - it would be good to allow saving scrips and allowing 1 click backfill that does not need NOW fronted. So everything happens in background.
Just save the scrip names once in gui, and have some command input args option to do backfill for entire day, aligned with 1 min bars, for those scrips.
This is possible - i have ahk scrips doing the same, but its wip and will be limited for my requirements. Sending Keyboard commands works and does not interfere with Amibroker fronted. This way we can do periodic backfills to match H/L with server data.

Neither RTDMan Mod nor the bundled RTDMan picked up the tickers automatically from the watchlist.
They are not programmed to pick-up tickers automatically. They read tickers from settings.in and connect to Nest/NOW RTD server. Receive Quotes and push quotes to Amibroker.

Yes it is designed to do that.

RTDMan does not do backfill. RTD1.26 does it. Temp output files will be blank if you have not arranged columns in Data table or Hourly statistics as prescribed in tutorial.
Upon running the delete ticks process separately, a different watchlist was shown in GUI. The process was picking up preconfigured NOW watchlists (Nifty 50) rather than the live one
Delete tics launches separate application. It picks up all scrips from Amibroker database and not from marketwatch.
Modified the settings.ini manually for watchlist ticker inclusion and was then able to get Topic_connected status from both RTDMan versions
RTD 1.26 includes scrips in settings.ini if you select scrips from its GUI (Backfill)

OK

40 global variables including one array were declared inside functions. Huge memory leak was guaranteed.
Moved all of them out side of functions at the top of code. That should take care of the memory leaks.
It took three hours of investigation to find out the cause of blank chart phenomenon. On Click on Exit, We were closing RTDMan by closing its process (May be Shankar had problem closing Console window). It was not getting chance to cleanup Broker object before closing. Broker.exe remained in memory and it would delete preferences and layouts.
Fixed that by issuing winclose command to its console. Now it is doing cleanup before exiting. This issue was bugging me for long time. Now it is over.
Live and learn all the time.:lol:Created revised installer and uploaded to dropbox. I am calling it RTD_1.30. Link is below in my signature -- NOW-Nest-Zerodha Trader to Amibroker.
I am not going to any more changes now.
If you get time please check for memory leaks once again.
Tested RTDMan Mod in live markets (as console app)
Unfortunately currency markets were closed today, hence Nifty pick up was not available (but had already kinda confirmed regarding correct LTP output, yesterday)
Rest all was smooth going. Alarm works fine. No issues with price & volume data. Memory occupied, stable at 1.3 Mb
In a nutshell, nothing much exciting to report
Thanks once again for the effort! I personally feel that the next step forward ought to be towards making this app even faster than it is now
