To Download Prices From A Broker

To download price data from a broker, you need four things:

  1. A user set up for the broker you are trying to download prices from. The password must be entered correctly.
  2. At least one account set up for that user. The account number must entered correctly.
  3. Data Manager entries, where you have specified to download the prices, and choose the user you created in the step above.
  4. The API for your broker properly installed on your computer.

You wouldn't have been able to save the Data Manager entry without a user selected. But you could save it without an Account for that user. Just remember that in ATM, each user needs a corresponding account set up for it before the user will actually be used for anything. It's just that one user could have many accounts, so we had to split them up.
