Odin2Ami - Odin terminal to Amibroker realtime datafeed software
Odin2Ami (Odin to AmiBroker) extracts intraday real time Market Watch data from Odin terminals (Odin Diet, Odin Client), and feeds AmiBroker. Market quotes for Equities, F&O, Index and currency scrips of Indian stock market exchanges such as NSE, MCX, is possible depending on your broker subscription. As a data feeder, the live market quotes are solely from your trading terminal, and does not use, or support, any server based quotes sources.
The live captured data is from the Odin market watch window, and based on scrips available there. The output names of instruments may be renamed with pre-configured settings or manually. Snapshots of realtime data, comprising last traded price & volume, are taken at a configurable interval down to 1 second. Captured quotes fed to AmiBroker may be 'tick' (actually snapshot) data, or may be aggregated to 1 minute bar intervals. Using M1 aggregated OHLCV in Amibroker reduces the database by about 30 times, and appeals to intraday traders who do not look at price charts below minute intervals. Besides the OHLCV data, you can also capture an additional three columns from the market watch, for example Open Interest or Avg. Trade Price (ATP), or TBQ or TSQ (Total Buy / Sell Quantity).
Backfill is available based on what is provided by ODIN terminal -- this is M1 (1 minute) data for the current day. Historical multiple-day backfill is only possible if your broker provides it. Tick data is extracted from the charts; 1 minute data has two sources.
This Odin feeder is a long overdue branch of the older O2A utility that captured Diet Odin market watch value (also Orders Book and Trades) for output to ASCII files. If your terminal is NOW or Nest Trader, and you are looking for a real time feeder for AmiBroker, you may also like to take a look at Now2Ami or Nest2Ami linked below.
