hi, I import a list of symbols each day into Amibroker which I intend to trade. After first clearing the real time quote window of all symbols I add this new list of symbols. Then I do "backfill all RTQ symbols". Even though most of the day I leave the symbol QQQQ in the active window all other symbols are stored / backfilled as well. So you need to do a "backfill all RTQ symbols" at the start of the day and then the data for all symbols in the RTQ window are backfilled as they come in. In have no experience however to store data for a longer period as I remove all symbols each day and read a new list and backfill this list at the start of the day,

I'm using the IB Feed and have all my symbols in the RTQ window. There's only about 40 or so of them. My understanding was that AB would collect data for any symbol in the RTQ list. It collects data for symbols open in a chart window, But it does not do this for symbols that are only in the RTQ window. For these, I have to force a backfill at the end of the day. The Database is set for Local Data Storage, 500000 quotes, 1 minute data. Does anyone else have this problem? I probably have some setting wrong and would appreciate any advice . Using 490.3, but had this in the prior versions too.
