Amibroker data feed for options trading: what to check
- Segment coverage. Confirm the feed covers the options you trade. Index options are in the core Amiprofits segments, and individual stock options are an add-on on request.
- Update speed. Option prices change quickly, so check that the chart moves with your broker screen. Read tick data vs 1-minute data to see when ticks matter.
- History for testing. A year of 1-minute data lets you test setups across different market conditions. See backfill explained for how to load it.
- A focused watchlist. Many live symbols can slow an older PC. Keep the live list to what you trade and add the rest for backtests only.
- Stability at the open. The first minutes are the busiest. Test the feed then, using the free trial checklist.
