I am a regular intraday user of AmiBroker and I truly enjoy working with it.
However, the current Batch Scheduler supports only hourly repetition, which
makes intraday automation difficult and forces us to rely on external tools.
With growing use of 1-minute data, it would mean a lot to many users if
Batch Scheduler could support:
• Repeat every N minutes (and optionally seconds)
• Day selection (e.g. Sun–Thu)
• Time range control (e.g. market hours)
This small enhancement would greatly improve the intraday experience
while keeping AmiBroker simple and powerful.
Thank you sincerely for your continuous effort and dedication to AmiBroker.
Batch is typically running LOTS of things and this takes longer and there is no way to repeat every second. Batch is NOT the right tool for that.
If you want to run something every second or every minute you should be using Auto Repeat mode of Analysis window, that allows to run scan or exploration even every second.
