thanx schaefer, this could solve the problem... default is 4. Is my understanding correct, that this would cap the volume to 4x the average volume per bar? so I have to try a lower number...

Is anyone trading the Euro (6E) or other currency futures using QuoteTracker and DTN/IQ feed and CONSTANT VOLUME BARS? I have some problems with printing the bars (see attachment). QuoteTracker says it's a problem with the feed, IQ says it's the inability of the charting software...

yes exactly, that's the problem with these blocks...

ok, as I assumed :) I use the same combo and get these dashes after a break and backfilling... happy trades!

which datafeed do you use? (concerning the dashes between 9.00 and 9.04)

it's annoying... :mad: volume chart looks funny with prices moving and bars printing stalling...

I'm still looking for... seriously, from time to time I have also these worries like you... Who knows what's going to work in 20 years? Since they started this huge machine yesterday in Geneva we'll fall into a black hole anyway...

what means "execute the order" for you? You can send the order from QT to your broker...

100% agree, good point...

I wouldn't say it's evident... Funny is, that I trade and will ever trade only with volume charts! The reason why I opened this thread was, that there are always some discussions (on ET as well as on German boards) in which the difference between IB's datafeed and a true tick by tick feed is...

It's not about knowing that a snapshot feed is inaccurate (which is notorious) but about actual seeing the real difference on a chart...

IQ:

Here some random excerpt from today (500 volume chart). The differences on a volume bar chart (compared to a tick chart) are minor. I'm not sure if they have a significant impact on your trading result :confused: If you rely on a tick chart for your trading style, subscribe to a superior...

I'm trading from Europe :cool:
