Both plugins send to localhost:5000 by default.

Quick Start

AFL Usage

// HTTP - sends JSON payload
result = HSend("BUY,AAPL,100");

// TCP - sends pipe-delimited payload
result = TSend("BUY,AAPL,100");

// Returns: 1.0 = success, 0.0 = failure, -1.0 = no argument provided

Payload Formats

HSend (JSON):

{"timestamp":"143052.123","chartID":1,"payload":"BUY,AAPL,100"}

TSend (Pipe-delimited):

143052.123|1|BUY,AAPL,100

Installation

1. Download or compile the DLL(s)
2. Copy to your AmiBroker Plugins folder (e.g., C:\Program Files\AmiBroker\Plugins\)
3. Restart AmiBroker
4. Use HSend() or TSend() in your AFL formulas

Building from Source

Prerequisites

1. MinGW-w64 (GCC 8.0+): https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/
2. AmiBroker Development Kit (ADK): https://gitlab.com/amibroker/adk
   • Download Plugin.h from the ADK repository
   • Place it in the same folder as the source files

Compile Commands

# HSend (HTTP version)
g++ -shared -m64 -w -D_USRDLL -o HSend.dll HSend.cpp -lwinhttp

# TSend (TCP version)
g++ -shared -m64 -w -D_USRDLL -o TSend.dll TSend.cpp -lws2_32

Build notes:

• -D_USRDLL flag required for proper dllexport
• Removed unnecessary #pragma pack(push, 2) from source files (TY msm51)

---

Requirements

• OS: Windows 7/8/10/11 (64-bit)
• AmiBroker: Version 6.0+ with plugin support
• Network: Port 5000 available on localhost
• Receiver: Your own HTTP server or TCP listener on port 5000

---

Example Receivers

Python HTTP Server (for HSend)

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/amibroker_signal', methods=['POST'])
def receive_signal():
    data = request.get_json()
    print(f"Received: {data}")
    return "OK", 200

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000)

Python TCP Server (for TSend)

import socket

server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind(('127.0.0.1', 5000))
server.listen(5)
print("Listening on port 5000...")

while True:
    client, addr = server.accept()
    data = client.recv(1024).decode()
    print(f"Received: {data}")
    client.close()
