Hi I'm about to write a data plugin and having problems understanding the timeframe covered by such a plugin.
Let's assume I have a DB of 1000 ticks on a DB server and I have memory to show only 50 on the client (AmiBroker) side. I want the client to be able to access historical and realtime data. How can the data plugin get which timeframe to use to fill the buffer given by GetQuotesEx? Which 50 ticks to get? I'm thinking about something like this: - if the user scrolls left he will get older data - if the user scrolls right he will get more recent data - if the user sees the latest data he will get realtime data Is it possible somehow? Is this a common scenario? What about backtesting, walk forward testing and other optimizations, can I use such strategy with them or should I try to store every relevant tick in the client side cache? With time compression I can save memory, I know, I just want to be nice to user memory. Thanks, lukit
