I have a historical data feed from IQFeed. I need to run something at 00:30 each morning to get prices from the previous day, and write them to a file.
I currently do this by just running a strategy to do it. That's easy, but I need to be at my PC at 00:30 to do it. Ninja has no scheduling. I can't leave this strategy running all the time, and besides if there were disconnects I'd miss data.
Another alternative would be to link straight into IQFeed. I supposes it's too difficult to link into the IQFeed dll part of NT. IQFeed do do APIs but you need to register as a developer for 300 per year. They do do DDE access, but I haven't been able to get that working from open office, and I don't see how you get bar data (i.e. 1min) using that.
So, anyone have any ideas?
thanks
Dave
