Brokey For Amibroker Access

AmiBroker is a high-performance technical analysis and charting platform written in C++. To maintain its compact size—with executables totaling only about 3.5 MB—it relies on a modular architecture of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs).

Custom Bridges: Tools like OpenAlgo allow you to fetch real-time data from various Indian and international brokers by installing their specific .dll files into the AmiBroker/Plugins folder.

9. Known Limitations

  1. Not a native indicator — requires manual AFL coding.
  2. No standard definition — different traders implement different “Brokey” versions.
  3. Can lag in fast markets — fixed-period ATR may respond slowly to volatility spikes.
  4. Over-optimization risk — curve-fitting Period and Multiplier for historical data.
  1. Missing Days: A stock didn’t trade on a specific day, or the vendor failed to upload the data.
  2. Zero Volumes: The price exists, but volume is zero (common in illiquid stocks).

  • Adjust the portfolio size to account for sudden delisting liquidity freezes.
  • Record the final realized loss (e.g., -99.9%).

The manual way to check for "Brokey" data is to open the Quote Editor (Symbols -> Edit). Scroll through your data. Do you see dates missing? Do you see 0 or Null values in the Volume column? This is tedious for one stock and impossible for a database of 2,000 symbols. Not a native indicator — requires manual AFL coding
