I am using IB Realtime feed from IB TWS through the IB connector in Amibroker.
I am getting price updates in the Realtime Quote Window of Amibroker. However, the chart when started gets backfill from IB and draws itself, but after that does not update as new prices come in.
I am posting below the AFL code from the "Edit Formula" option when we right-click the Amibroker Chart. Request please advise why my Chart is not updating. This is the first time I am trying to run Amibroker.
