Real Time Data Now / Nest Trader to Amibroker, Fcharts

Hi,
It is regarding amibroker..
If we backfill existing data what happens in amibroker?
Suppose for time period of one minute 21:43 to 21:47 data is missing due to disconnection of internet and I backfilled with time period 21:40 to 21:50. Is it overwrite in amibroker for 21:00 to 21:42 and 21:47 to 21:50? just curious about mismatching of data. Thanks in Advance.
 
It will depend on the paramaters used by you in amibroker preferences and secondly will depend, whether you are backfilling using Data Table or by using Hourly Statistics.

But it will overwrite 21:40 to 21:42 and 21:47 to 21:50
 
Hi,
When I am trying to backfill far month futures for crudeoilm... all are backfilling into crudeoilm-F1.
Whenever I click backfill tab in RTD1.40 all the marketwatch symbols showing correctly as

crudeoilm16augfut
crudeoilm16sepfut
crudeoilm16octfut
crudeoilm16novfut.

But When I click on "Do Backfill" button all symbols is changing to

crudeoilm-F1
crudeoilm-F1
crudeoilm-F1
crudeoilm-F1

and after backfilling completes nothing happens in amibroker.

This is a fresh install of all softwares in virtual machine.(Nest, Amibroker, RTD1.40).

Help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

For backfilling or to populate quotes to ami every scrip, contract wise has to specified with a separate extension.
If crudeoilm16augfut is annotated as crudeoilm-F1, then next month has to be -F2, -F3 and so on. Make changes in RTDMan.ini file

Even if we try to backfill from NEST then there is no tick data available. Regarding functionality off course Josh1 will have to confirm.
1 min data from VWAP or Data Table can be backfilled. It is explained in Videos.

I don't understand why people keep asking same question over and over.

Yes my question was about tick data. So josh1 says its 1min. backfill which makes it unsuitable for ofa. All one must do is to keep your macine on and pray broadband donot disconnect.:cool:

You took me wrong bro.. I was referring Aman's query of Tickdata Backfill to Ninja Trader. Regarding Amibroker , I know that the backfill function is exemplary.
