Here is an interesting light weight software(86.6kb) from volumedigger named My Quotes. This light weight software utility could be used to update your amibroker software in realtime tick data from Yahoo Finance at free of cost. Now thats sounds totally amazing!
How you could make it?
1) Download Myquotes
2) Extract the files to your amibroker path(By default C:\>Program Files\Amibroker )
3)Open Amibroker
3) Create a new Amibroker database named YahooIntraday set the Base time interval to Tick Data
4)Open Myquotes.exe from the amibroker folder
5)Give your yahoo username and password
6)Once you logged in Now goto File from the menu bar and select Select Amibroker path
7)And choose your path to New Amibroker Database i.e C:\>Program Files\Amibroker\YahooIntradau
8)Now from the menu bar select Download->Start Yahoo RT Data
9)Also you can adjust the time corrective settins from the options coloumn from the settings
10)You are done now watch your real time charting updating
Notes and caution
1)Backfill is not possible
2)If power or your internet goes down then you cant get the missed Intraday data
2)If you want to change the symbols edit symbollist.txt file in amibroker folder and use only Y! Finance symbols3)Use lookup to get Y! Finance Symbols for any sort of script

@Anjum Iam Planning to update historical data upto 2009 on 1st Jan 2010. I request you to wait till that
Thanks Mgv,
I had already downloaded that software. But iam not able to use both the software combinely. If i use EOD backfill during real time update.... the entire database got deleted and new EOD backfill occurs... If simply destroys my old data
I tried but it did not work, how do we open myquotes.exe in the amibroker folder? Could you please post screen shots, thanks in advance
Myquotes.exe is not present in the given link, one txt file, one format file and one volume digger only are present.
When the volume digger com is clicked message got is the application failed to initialize properly 0xc0000135 error message comes please update.
Thanks
