    Simon, we are also adding support a much more reliable datafeed that will support London, as well as many other exchanges.

    Real-time prices

    Simon, Yahoo "Real-time" quotes are actually ECN only quotes, so I doubt you want that. eSignal - yes, the data manager comes with their datafeed. Don't know if you can interface with Perl. Will you be using this on a Windows machine or apple/Unix/Linux? If Windows, then you can just...

    trading thru IB using Medved QT

    Please read the first post on page 3 of this thread. 3.2.0b will not work with that version of TWS. Update to the 3.2.3d version (beta).

    Sorry, but I have to ask - did you actually install the update and installed over the existing one? What is the version # displayed in QT HELP/About screen?

    trading thru IB using Medved QT

    If you are running TWS 798.x or higher, you will need to get the latest beta version of QuoteTracker due to a bug in QuoteTracker that only gets triggered with the newer TWS versions. You can update from within QuoteTracker. Select OPTIONS/Edit Preferences menu. Click on MISC tab and enable...

    Volume problems with IB today

    IBsoft, the difference in volume seems to be much more than the volume that would go by in a half a second. Also, the volume change should be sent with every trade quote, not every 30 seconds with the volumes between the 30 second updates being computed from last trade. IB does not show every...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    for performance reasons, QT keeps the data in memory. It is not feasable to keep the data on all stocks in memory for longer time periods. We will be enhancing the caching functions in QT, at which time we will increase the amount of data that the charts will show.

    Time And Sales vs. TWS

    dafa, though tere are issues with futures volume from IB right now, what OldTrader is referring to is different. eSignal data is tick by tick. IB's data is not. IB updates the quotes max of 2 or 3 times per second. Therefore, if you are watching a symbol that is trading more often than that...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    QuoteTracker does collect and store the data locally. Since you have last used QT, we have added ability to see several days of data on the intraday charts - 2 for free versions, 5 for registered. As for Scottrade, can't argue with you on that :)

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    QuoteTracker has the option available in the right click menu on the caption of most windows. Other programs have that as well. There are also programs that let you set translucency on any window I think. may want to check www.download.com

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    Party Animal, Attached is a sample of a translucent chart over your post. Personally, I find it a bit distracting. A bit negative side affect is that translucency uses a lot of CPU. It is available on Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems.

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    a5519, you are wrong on both counts. 1) QuoteTracker has Backfill feature. It can be set to trigger automatically when you add a new symbol, or when you open a chart, or you can right click on the chart/symbol and select backfill. That will download the historical intraday data, assuming...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    If you use your broker as a quote source, there is no cost for the data feed. As for QuoteTracker, the cost is optional if you want to get rid of the ads and have longer time frame intraday charts. QuoteTracker is a Windows program that is able to connect to various datafeeds - brokers...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    IB data can be used by 3rd party software, such as QuoteTracker and a number of others. QuoteTracker can get the data from IB, and then chart it. IB's own tools do not provide charting though Live charts imply self updating - that you do not just get a static chart that needs to be...

    Best combination of charting platform and data feed for swing trading?

    not sure what you mean in reference to QuoteTracker and historical charts. The live intraday charts can be set to show up to 5 days of data. Historical charts (not live) in QT can show up to 20 days of intraday, or any period for EOD. as for comparing IB with IQfeed/Ensign, thats really...

    IB futures symbols in Quotetracker

    TMTrader - the problem that easyrider is having is that he is entering the symbol correctly, but QT is handling the spaces as symbol separators. This will happen on the WatchList, or if you right click on the portfolio and select Add Stocks. To enter such symbols in those locations, put single...

    Computer Reboots

    Hambone, Basically, unless the software installs some windows drivers, there is nothing that the software can do that would cause a reboot. Thats not to say that you will not get reboots only if you run a particular program. Its just that the bug is not usually in the program but in...
