Hi Osama_J

thanks for the info - this great news and thanks for making the data bridge - will certainly try out the AMP MT5 platform.

For the API do you have any pointers as to what is involved in using it to get data into Wave59?

thanks,
rlite4

Hi rlite4,

Once you've navigated to those pages, you'll be able to gather data, including ticks and historical data from CGQ.

However,
it's important to note that after you've set up your data retrieval process, it's a good idea to reach out to earik to ensure you're using the correct ports and data formats.
In my case, I used the 'history59' data option with customizable ports(5959) and messaging format, historical data was saved to "Data\IB\SymbolName\YYYYMMDD" files.
but there are additional options available that might be more suitable for your specific needs, and you may add trading directly from wave59, the limit is your imagination!
Earik can provide valuable insights and recommendations to make your experience even smoother."
