Batch files are created for easy quick install. But you should understand what it does. It is explained in the blog. All batch files are for 64 bit windows. For Amibroker it has 32 bit and 64 bit.
Installation charges as per freelance to install through anydesk. But if you cannot install yourself, don't use this code. Because if there are any changes in broker or python, I cannot help immediately. I instruct only which accounts I am using. For example, now I use Flattrade for data, order placement for Kotak. If there is an issue, I can tell. But for other brokers I may not give solution immediately. Text support is free. But I can give in my free time only. Telegram call support for tamil only.
Don't run Amibroker as administrator. It is for data feed users . If you use order placing only, then no problem.
Avoid using Antivirus. Windows defender is enough. If you have separate system for trading, you can stop defender also.
If you have installed both 32 bit and 64 bit take some care. I don't know, it make any issue.
Datafeed send data to the opened amibroker, irrespective of default database . If you opened two databases (two Amibroker instances) take care.
Always keep two brokers for live feed.
Start your datafeed as much as early as possible. We can start around 8AM also. Also if need place dummy order and check. Password expired, Expiry date changed, API issue etc. can verify.
When Backfilling or live feed there is green bar scrolling or blinking at bottom of Amibroker. For backfilling progress for importing is ok. But for live, it should like as blinking. In live , if it visible slowly, then there will be lag in data feed. In ram disk , live csv file size less than 20kb is good. If it more than 30kb it will slow. Don't use tick datafeed unnecessary.
You can run two feed parallel/simultaneously. Check both have different name for live CSV. Do this for one minute feed only . Not for tick data. Once I compared Flattrade with shoonya, Flattrade with Alice Blue all are same only. So one feed candle replace other. It won't make any issue. Initially I tried few days.
Tick database
If you use tickdata, for backfilling we get one minute data only. After backfill it come different kind of chart with mixed candle and ticks. So after deleting tick data backfill with one minute is good. Soon I add an option to delete quote.
Curl
From 2018, all windows/server curl is pre installed. To check curl, open cmd and types as following and enter.
curl --help
It shows the help menu. Otherwise say error. If you use windows 7/8 only you need to install curl. Check my you YouTube video to install curl.
Python
I am using official python and IDLE only. Current code are tested in 3.13.7 . Currently batch file install tested version libraries.
If you are already using any older python version, anaconda, VS code or any other Python, you are considering as developer. So you should solve issues by yourself (with help of AI). Particularly for VS code. VS code get python interpretor from Microsoft as add-on. But to use python outside of VScode we need to install python to execute from python. So you take care.
Initially I started with anaconda and develop through jupyter notebook. But now I use IDLE only. Don't use notebook. To check older notebook , I installed jupyter notebook with official python.
SSL Certificate Error
This certificate verification can be bypassed. It may be ok for data, but not for the order place.
First try Windows Update. Also try by disabling Firewall.
After update also not work, Download Certi Cerificate to SSL.py script and double click to execute or run in IDLE. It copy Certi certificate to SSL. It require admin. may require disable antivirus. If this script not work, do manually as follows
Copy certificate file cacert.pem from C:\Program Files\Python313\Lib\site-packages\certifi\ and create folder SSL in C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL And paste it then rename it to cert.pem
If Certificate path cannot find, Download SSL Certi Certificate Path.py script and run in IDLE. It show the path of both certificates.
Sys.arg
in some scripts like historical data, master , you can see this sys.argv[1] these are need to execute from amibroker. these variable values are need to send from amibroker. if you execute this directly it give error as index out of range. if you want run directly from IDLE or execute, disable these inputs enable manually. remove the triple quotes for above inputs and disable sys.argv inputs
