The Plugin is not compatible with v6.20.0, however it does work with v6.20.1.
Note on using the Plugin with Windows 11 on ARM.


The AmiBroker Database

The plugin allows AmiBroker to access the Norgate Data database as an "external data source", but AmiBroker still requires you to create an associated AmiBroker database, to store information about symbols, charts/annotations, "Sectors" and Watch Lists. The AmiBroker database is really just a collection of symbols - it doesn't contain any price data. The Norgate Data plugin links the symbols in the AmiBroker database to the corresponding price data in the NDU Database.

This arrangement is explained in the AmiBroker article Understanding Database Concepts.

The Norgate Data plugin also controls which symbols appear in the AmiBroker database according to subscription entitlement. For instance, if subscriptions have been taken out for both AU Stocks and US Stocks, and then the AU Stocks subscription is allowed to lapse, the AU Stocks symbols are removed from the AmiBroker database the next time that Database Maintenance is run.
