@college ruled - "QuoteTracker" refers to the Quotetracker software: http://www.quotetracker.com @candle7779 - stop spamming

what exactly is giving you the message?Quotetracker or TWS? If Quotetracker, then it means that either TWS doesn't have API access enabled, or is using a nonstandard port

Just tried to backfill DELL and GLOBEX:@ESZ2 Both worked.

that is not a problem with the program. Is a problem with Ameritrade data

@Ryoial1 - Google and Yahoo RT quotes are not supported in QuoteTracker. @dale303 - the easiest is to just save the QuoteTracker directory , including all sub-directories, (most likely at C:\Program Files\Quotetracker on the XP machine) and copy it to the Windows 7 machine. If you don't want...

hillbillie, IB Backfill does not provide TICK data and you are looking at a tick chart. Switch to a time based chart - is the data filled in then? IQFeed does have tick backfill, so if you have been using that, it would certainly explain it

hillbillie, IB Backfill will get you far less data than IQFeed. Max 5 days on intraday for example. I don't have a way to check right now (the test account I had isn't currently working it seems). As for GLOBEX:@ES#, I don't remember IB supporting continuous symbols like that.

It has been a while since I checked myself, but I remember that sampling interval was between 200 and 350 milliseconds is pretty much normal for IB accounts, so I don't think that is anything different for papertrading accounts. I did not see any difference connecting with a live vs paper...

hillbillie, IB - What specific problems are you having? If you run QT on 2 different PCs connecting to the same IB account, you have to either have both connect to TWS running on one QT, or login to TWS on each computer with different logins. You can setup paper trading account which...

Did you install MB Nav on this computer?

if QT is impacting your ability to connect with Navigator, then that means that you still have QT use MB for some data. You can see the connection indicators on the status bar - move the mouse over them to see which one is using MB Trading. You can have both QT and Nav running if they login...

Oops. Change CBOE to Russell in the symbol.

check to see if that index is real-time in TWS, and that the symbol is RUT and exchange that you are checking is CBOE

Assuming you are subscribed, the symbol is CBOE:$RUT NOTE: the symbol is already in QT's built in index panel, so you should select it there instead of adding to the portfolio. Having it selected in both places will cause problems.

The symbol would be different for each datafeed. Not all support it, and some of the ones that do will have an extra subscription for it. Which datafeed are you using?

if you transfer the entire folder, including sub-folders, all the data will be there.

this page has one from 2010 (when we left) http://download.cnet.com/QuoteTracker/3000-2057_4-10046178.html?tag=mncol;1

I HIGHLY doubt they will make the web site only available to TDA users. That would require a bunch of work, which I am quite sure they do not want to devote resources to. But if you want to download and save the file now, you can do that. thumbs.... don't worry about that. Ignore it.

high99, First off, you can just copy the QT folder to the new computer and create a shortcut for STOCKS.EXE Alternately, you can download qtsetup.exe (regular install) from the quotetracker web site http://www.quotetracker.com/download/qtsetup.exe and then you will be able to install...

there is no 3.9.9 that I know of. Did you mean 3.9.8? If so, that is the regular TDA version and if they do something to restrict it to TDA clients only, then you will be impacted by that. You would want to get the patched version posted here, that fixes the backfill. It also disables all "call...
