Amibroker Portable |link|
AmiBroker does not have an official "portable" version, but because it is a compact, high-performance C++ application, you can manually create a portable setup by copying its installation folder. Core Portability Mechanism
Data feeds & automation
- Flat files / CSV: most portable-friendly — place feed files on the portable drive and map them in AmiBroker.
- Interactive Brokers, APIs, or live feeds: may require network connections and local drivers/services on the host PC — portability may be limited.
- Scheduled tasks or automated scans: avoid relying on host-specific scheduled tasks. Run scans manually or use a portable task runner that does not require system installation.
Portability: To achieve true portability, users generally use the 32-bit version. This version uses the standard Microsoft C runtime already present in all Windows versions (since Windows XP), meaning it can run on almost any PC without requiring additional runtime installations. amibroker portable
- Standard:
C:\Program Files\AmiBroker - Portable: Choose a different path, such as
D:\AmiBroker_Portableor simply the root of your USB drive (e.g.,E:\AmiBroker).
- The Catch: You cannot simply plug your USB drive into a random computer and expect it to run unlocked. It will revert to the Trial/Demo version if the hardware ID doesn't match.
- The Solution: AmiBroker's license allows for activation on multiple machines (usually two) for a single user. You may need to activate your license on the new machine, or simply use the portable version in read-only mode if you are just checking charts quickly.
