Since the thread name mentions of Trade Tiger. so I am posting this here.
Do we have any utility that can feed data from Trade Tiger (TT 2.4.9) to Amibroker.
Can RTD tool feed Amibroker From trade tiger?
I know there was a utility created few years ago by Josh which worked as below
TT (via snap to Excel)--> Snap.xls -->RTTiger.xlsm--> Amibroker.
But his utility is just not working for me. The rates in Trade tiger does not change no matter what. It simple does not pick up the updated quotes from the Snap.xls. If I save and close the Snap.xls and open it again and change the Quotes manually in it, then RTTiger.xlsm gets updated. It is only with Snap.xls opened from TT that has the issue. I wonder what the issue is here. Is TT opening the excel in safe mode or anything else. Could anybody figure out what is the issue there?
Here are few things that I tried
- (As mentioned above) Saving and closing Snap.xls and opening the Snap.xls (now the quotes from TT are stopped) and if I update the Quotes manually in Snap.xls then RTTiger.xlsm updates itself without any issues. but those aren't thee real quotes as I modified Snap.xls manually.
I wonder TT is blocking something here.
- I saved the Snap to excel with ".xlsm" extension and I copied the macro from RTTiger.xlsm and the command button to it. All works without any issues.But it is a pain to do it every time.
- There should be two ways TT send quotes to Excel
- DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
I checked with DDESpy to check whats going on, but all seem to be fine
- RTD (Real time data)
There are no formulas or any reference RTDserver in the Snap.xls excel so I don't think that the data is transmitted through RTD
So finally, I have a few questions for you all.
- There is no official word on whether the Josh Utility still works or not. Threads are inactive, no one responds there. Is the Josh Utility still working for anyone? If yes what is version of TT?
- Does anybody have any other working utility for TT to Amibroker?
- Any suggestions\ finding anyone has? I can provide technical expertise I am a S/W engineer for last 10 years. I know programming. I am ready to help.
