Yes, but if you use QuoteTracker, you can still get them in the index panel since you can select a different quote source for indices.

You have to have TWS runninng if you are trading or getting quotes through IB with QuoteTracker, same as with any other program that connects to IB. As for backfill, QuoteTacker supports backfill from various sources, including myTrack, IQFeed, Cyber, StockWatch, Money.net, DATEK/Ameritrade...

bungrider, pretty much any encryption would work. The point is mainly to make it so that its not obvious when you look at the EXE file with a hex editor where the password may be. We do that for any sensitive strings that we have in our software.

I will let others answer the C++ vs C# question. As for the hardcoded password, it would be relatively easy to find if you just have it in the code in clear text. If you go the hardcoded route, encrypt the password, then enter the encrypted password into the code, then whenever you need to...

paulus, IB does not have TICK, even though they did add a number of calculated indices recently. you can use QuoteTracker go get data from IB, and indices from an alternate source, such as Quote.com. If you do that, just add TICK.NQ (NASDAQ) or TICK.NY (New York) as user defined indices on the...

nitro - the feed for MarketCenter is tick-by-tick

Its definitely not a software issue, since at that point, the OS is not running yet. You may want to contact the manufacturer of the computer.

No. the more likely reason was that the sales person was clueless, but didn't want to admit it to a customer, so they winged it.

sunnie - TGregg is correct. XP Pro does NOT give you the right to use it on multiple computers. What it does is let you use it on computers with multiple CPUs, where as XP Home can be used on those computers, but it would only use 1 CPU. Another note regarding the multiple CPU stuff -...

Mvic, Here is my take - if the 2nd system (Dimension 2400 P4 2.4Ghz 533Mhz FSB) costs $1,000 less, take it. You may need to replace it earlier than the more expensive system, but not much sooner - maybe 4 years instead of 5 at most. However, for the $1,000 that you save, you will be able to...

Save now is for data, not settings. It is supposed to save the color scheme when you close and restart. What QT version are you using? QT shows blank price and blank volume if the volume and price did not change from previous quote (bid/ask changed) Will look at making that an option. Right...

MarketWatcher On the Level II window, select from the SITE menu: SITE--> ISLAND ... or SITE--> Archipelago... or SITE--> Ameritrade NASDAQ Level II You cannot move the columns on the L II window. As for the overlap of the font buttons, only happens if you have the window is sized very...

MarketWatcher, I don't think you really know what you are talking about. You said that QuoteTracker is "an amateurish piece of crap", yet you go on and on about how good Ameritrade Command center is? QuoteTracker is head and shoulders above Ameritrade both features, software reliability...

kernan, ZoneAlarm does not stop the spyware software from getting installed on your computer. What it does do is stop that software from communicating over the web. Thats not always enough though, since the spyware can just launch IE browser windows, which would get through. You would still...

IQFeed, myTrack and eSignal should all be able to handle what you need, though as you may have noticed from the discussion, there are various fees associated with accessing the APIs for a retail investor.

Catoosa, noted. I just have not seen any lag in TWS recently, so if its something where the quotes are lagging for only one person, the PC not keeping up was the most likely culprit I thought of.

I am pretty sure that the special pricing for QuoteTracker users will only work with QuoteTracker software. Higher priced subscriptions will work with all software, including QuoteTracker and your own developed apps. This is more of a DTN question :)

the $5 to $7 QuoteTracker registration is for the QuoteTracker software. It has nothing to do with IQFeed. It gets rid of the ads in QuoteTracker and lets you have 5 day live intraday charts instead of 2. If you were going to use QuoteTracker with IQFeed, you would have to subscribe to IQFeed -...

a broadband connection should be able to easily handle that
