IB need to do quite a bit of software work to include the transaction numbers in their backfill. They would like an indication of how many traders think it is important. Personally half of my charts (i use 2 to decide on a trade) are tick, the other time, so backfill is nearly useless to me...

I was asked by Admin at SierraCharts to ask you guys about it. I will suggest they contact you and also that Jerry at QT contact you as well. Would you like Howard to call you as well? I don't believe he uses your backfill at present but given the number of his customers using Tick charts I...

Come in IB???? Any thoughts on this. Tell me its rubbish or that you just can't pass transaction information, but do say something.

Yes.

Hi IBSoft, Any answer to this please?

There are really no significant issues to consider when switching to either Opera or Firefox. I wouldn't count on there being fewer security holes than IE but they are both good products with a different feel to IE ... find out which you like better. Also Google Avant Browser and Slim...

No. Thats backfill (for when you are off line for a bit and need to get your data up to date) rather than back test. You really need to buy historical data from somewhere for backtesting.

1900, yes I agree that IB are doing a good job in this space. It would be great if they fill in this small hole to make the data considerably more useful. 777, I agree that volume charts are useful for a number of tradables but haven't found them to be good on my main contract so i would...

Hi guys. Any chance of a reponse to this? Both Quotetracker and Sierra attempt to handle it but the result is unsatisfactory.

Currently the IB Backfill Data does not have information about the number of trades so it is not possible to create useful tick charts with the data. Would you be kind enough to include the transaction/tick data as well? As a lower priority, the more 10 second data you could offer (24...

The difference is caused by how todays data is calculated vs how the historical data is calculated. Its years since I played with yahoo data but I seem to recall that the historical data has wider tails than the daily data and this is caused by the way that the index component prices are...

On the basis of numbers attending you will absolutely have to go with Woodie's Room.

Excellent and so correct. No big secrets required. It isn't intellectually difficult. Its just hard to do, over and over. I will make a small donation to the milk and cookies fund (happy to match yours wolfy).

You guys are like the most of the guys over here in Aussie ... trading the US markets in the evening. You really should try the hang seng ... but get your disciplined hat on before it opens. I was over for Xmas, neat place and a great spot to spend Xmas as well.

It closes down friday night after the markets have closed but opens again sunday afternoon when globex opens (5pm est I think).

I liked both those books too. If I was looking for education I would get William ONeil's HTMMIS or Stan Weinstein's book instead of either of them. For a good read I really enjoyed Darvas and all the evidence I could find suggests he was "real." If he was faking it he would have had much...

LOL. Cute. Hi Viv. A fun "journal" thanks.

I use a telstra cable connection (had adsl previously). Delay to Hong Kong IB server is under 175ms. Used to be about 230ms to US so I imagine that Europe would be 300ms or less. So, worst case, thats under 6/10ths of a second round trip added by the communications. But ... don't get a...

I live down on the Gold Coast zen. It would be interesting to touch base some time.

A note to advise that the latest browser based TWS 846.4 does not show this problem at times when the standalone is experiencing it. Tested ok. "This problem should be resolved in the current browser TWS 846.4. This will eventually be released as a standalone download as well. Tim...
