MiniQMT Data Support Roadmap

[JungleWolfz]

Is there any plan to support MiniQMT data? Data from other sources has been rather unstable

[kay-ou]

MiniQMT is a community‑driven data source, not an officially licensed market data provider. Its legality and compliance mainly depend on how the data is obtained on the user side.

For SimTradeData, I only integrate data sources that are stable, transparent, and safe for
long‑term use. Before adding MiniQMT support, I need to verify that its data acquisition
method does not introduce compliance risks for users or for the project.

So the short answer is: MiniQMT support is technically feasible, but it requires a
compliance and stability review before integration.

MiniQMT 本身不是官方数据源，它属于社区型数据接口。它的合法性主要取决于
用户端的数据获取方式，而不是接口本身。

在 SimTradeData 中，我只会接入长期稳定、来源透明、不会给用户带来合规风险的
数据源。因此在支持 MiniQMT 之前，我需要确认它的数据获取方式不会涉及授权问题，
并确保它适合长期使用。

简单来说：技术上可以支持，但需要先做合规性与稳定性评估。

@kay-ou Good consideration. But I think you need QMT to use MiniQMT, and if you can retrieve data from QMT, you are supposed to be readily "entitled" to such data because an account at the brokerage is required. But I agree that you should not publish data from QMT in this repo. I assume that using MiniQMT in the code is okay. I feel that QMT is a more reliable source and much higher rate limit.
