Amibroker chart does not show realtime & backfill data. This happens when the link between AmiBroker and AutoTrader breaks. Most likely reason for this is user restarted AmiBroker or there is another AmiBroker instance running in background.
Solution 1
- Restart your computer
- Start amibroker first, Run as admin
- Make sure AmiBroker database is correctly setup (verify all steps given in user guide)
- Start AutoTrader
- Now when you click “Start Live Data” or do “Backfill”; then you can see data in charts.
Solution 2
Make sure you have installed correct version of AmiBroker for your windows. If your windows is 64-bit, then install 64-bit version of AmiBroker, otherwise install 32-bit version. We have seen data loading issues with some cracked/pirated versions of Amibroker, so please install free trial version.
