Code Top — Amibroker Data Plugin Source

To build a reliable data plugin, your project structure should separate network logic from AmiBroker's structural requirements. Below is the blueprint of a production-grade data plugin using modern C++. Defining Data Structures ( Plugin.h )

char line[1024]; int index = 0; while (fgets(line, 1024, file) != NULL)

Here's an example implementation:

Update the GetPluginInfo() method with your plugin's metadata.

If a market data feed sends 50 ticks per second for a single symbol, do not update AmiBroker on every single tick. Buffer the ticks and flush them to AmiBroker at a controlled interval (e.g., every 100ms). amibroker data plugin source code top

Go to , click Configure , and select your plugin from the Data Source dropdown menu. If you want to customize this plugin further, tell me: What specific data vendor or API are you connecting to?

Configure : Displays a native Win32 dialog box or triggers an external UI configuration window allowing users to input API keys, server IP addresses, and port numbers. Data Retrieval Engine To build a reliable data plugin, your project

Always lock your internal data structures when reading or writing across threads. Use lightweight primitives such as CRITICAL_SECTION or std::shared_mutex (for read-heavy performance). Keep the critical section scope as brief as possible. Handling Missing Bars and Gaps
