This script will pull the symbols from your specified Amibroker database and download historical EOD dividend adjusted data from Tiingo.com and will store them 
in a folder (Destop/Data/TiingoEOD) as csv files, one for each stock (APPLE.csv SPY.csv, etc)
It will then attempt to open Amibroker and import the csv files.
You need:
1. To add your own Token number you will get when you register at Tiingo.com (line 51)
2. Specify the Amibroker database you want updated (line 99)

Use as an example. Please modify to your needs

Hi! What to do when you don't link to amibroker?

I always get zero for Qty.
Qty = ab.Stocks.Count

and this error
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Ticker'

You could wrap the code calling AB in a try-except block as well as initialize QTY to 1 and TickerList to some tickers (ie. , ['SPY","TLT"])
