An Even Cheaper Way to Get Data into Amibroker

By Dave Mabe

Last week I shared my script for importing Polygon (er, Massive) data into Amibroker.

Long-time list member, Matt H., sent me a way to import intraday data for even cheaper - free in fact!

It's not for the faint of heart, as it's not a turnkey solution, but he tells me it works.

He has offered to share his code with members of the list in this GitHub repo.

I haven't tested this, and there are some caveats to consider. For example, you need to open an Alpaca account, and the data takes a considerable amount of time to get into Amibroker.

However, if you're looking for the most cost-effective way to import data into Amibroker and are willing to put your nerd hat on for a while to make it happen, you might be interested in this.

Thanks for sharing with the group, Matt!
