Amibroker Real-Time Data vs Delayed Data: What Changes

Last updated: October 2026 · Amiprofits

The short answer
Real-time moves with the market delayed data shows older prices

Real-time data in AmiBroker updates your chart as prices change, so signals and scans use current prices. Delayed data shows prices from a few minutes ago, which is fine for review but risky for entries.

Amiprofits delivers real-time tick data with up to 100 updates a second, plus 1 year of 1-minute backfill and 20 years of end of day data.

How to tell which one you have

  1. Compare with your broker. Put your AmiBroker chart next to your broker terminal. If the last price differs for minutes, the data is delayed.
  2. Check the last bar. On a live feed the last 1-minute bar keeps changing. On delayed data it updates in steps.
  3. Test at the open. Delays are easiest to see in the first minutes after 9:15 when prices move fast.
  4. Ask the provider. Ask for the update speed in writing. Amiprofits states up to 100 updates a second.
