I:$INDU is a StockWatch symbol so it would only work if you change the Historical Backfill to Stockwatch

Q:$@CCO is I believe a Stockwatch symbol. As far as Yahoo, it seems that the data download URL no longer returns data for it. ^DJI and INDU are the correct symbols. This is not QT specific.

^DJI is the symbol http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^DJI

There is a limit to the number of symbols you can stream via IB. Are you sure you are not just hitting the limit? Normally it is 100

@JSwaft, don't know of anything that can be done to resolve that other than changing the QT news window to 2 pane. Jerry

@Jinzhou - We have not publicly released Medved Trader yet. We have a number of people beta testing it but I don't want to do a public release yet. @Jason Wu - Again, that is because you don't have Backfill working. Either not turned on or don't have a working source selecting, so QT is only...

QT always required the default port. Not sure how you had it work otherwise. MT has an option to change the port. I cannot make any patches or changes to QT

@Jason Wu, you are confusing Backfill with QT just storing the quotes and showing you that quote history. That is why 1 and 2 questions came up. You are not actually backfilling in either case. right click on the chart and select Backfill. Does that fill in the data? As for Heikin Ashi -...

that is the PACE indicator. You can right click on it to change parameters for it. right click on chart, VIEW sub-menu has Show/Hide Pace Indicator option

@Appleseed, You can open a historical chart chart and link it with the same color pin to the portfolio. Click on the first symbol in the portfolio. The chart should change to it. Use the down arrow on the keyboard to switch to the next symbol. Repeat for all symbols in the...

I guess that depends on what you mean by "scan only my historical chart list". How exactly do you scan a chart list?

There is no patch for BigCharts. The service that QT was using was shut down. The data that their flash charts use is in completely different format (so its not just a matter of changing the URL that is being used) and is useless anyway because you can only get 1 year of 1 day data.

assuming you have the patch, both IB and TDA should work.

Ninja either gets the data from another source or if from IB, then they are either not getting 1 minute data (5 minute data could be retrieved for longer periods) or are making multiple requests. I cannot speak for Ninja about their design decisions and target audience, but for QT and for MT...

whenever you open a chart that you do not have data for already, QT sends 1 request to the IB servers to get the data to show on the chart. it used to be that the max that could be requested was 5 days of data. (now it is 10). To get more than that, the program would have to make...

IB only lets you get 5 days of 1 minute data per request. You can make 12 requests to get 60 days. However, IB also limits you to 60 historical data requests in any ten-minute period. Even at 1 request per backfill, that is somewhat restrictive if you are backfilling multiple symbols. If you...

BIG CHARTS, which is the DEFAULT backfill source in QT, is no longer working. Go to OPTIONS/Data sources menu, HIST BACKFILL tab and change the source to YAHOO, or another source that you have access to

switch your HIST BACKFILL source to either TDA (if you have it) or Yahoo

you can also just do a small VBA script to do 100 or so Yahoo finance requests for their CSV formatted data.

the other reply didn't quote go well (was on cell phone). Yes, we will show the events on the historical charts
