you must specify the exchange. Enter the symbol like this: ECBOT:@YM DEC 05 NOTE: 3 spaces after YM, 1 space after DEC. If entering symbols via "Add Symbol" dialog box or WatchList, surround it with single quotes.

You can use QuoteTracker for what you are looking to do if you have a datafeed or broker that provides the data in question. Many provide DJ news, L II. Please indicate the specific broker you are moving to. Linking charts, L II, News is not a problem. Might need to click though depending on...

there is no such option in QT. QT always uses the cumulative volume

If you want them to charge you real commission on imaginary trading, I am sure something can be arranged :)

QuoteTracker would fit the bill: http://www.quotetracker.com yoiu can use the software itself either free, or $5 per month (if registered annually). You need a datafeed for it as well. If using your broker for the datafeed, there is no extra cost. If not, you can get a subscription from one...

we do not want to capture it because that would drastically increase the memory usage.

Thanks. Backfill of portfolio - that gets very tricky since you have to reconsile intraday data of multiple symbols with varying start/end times (possibly). As for start/end time of the portfolio chart, you can assign the time frame to it and set it to not show pre/after hours data. That...

They do allow retrieval of 5 days, not just one (just to clarify). As for knowing the market closing time, thats fine if you are programming for yourself and are trading just a few contracts. For a commercial application (NeoTicker, QuoteTracker, etc), that knowledge requires a whole separate...

It really does depend on exactly what the application needs and just how many hoops they want to jump through to get stuff implemented. For intraday data - IB Hist data does not indicate when one day/session starts ends, or where volume should be reset, which can greatly complicate matters...

I think that really depends on what their actual reason is for blocking the ports. If its specifically to bock those financial applications, then your point would be valid. If however its purely for security and they are just blocking all ports, using a proxy friendly datafeed is NOT a problem...

There are a few datafeeds that are very firewall and proxy friendly. MarketFeed is very reliable and fits the bill. Would use that with QuoteTracker http://www.quotetracker.com/marketfeed http://www.quotetracker.com/ one thing you didn't mention - what do you need? Equities? Futures? ....

I am sure there are creative ways still out there to implement something along the same lines without stepping on TT's toes :)

did you run Ad-Aware, SpyBot and the like?

Him, there may be a small spike right where backfill data is met with the data collected from Level I . Because IB L I quotes do not have time on them, system time is used and that may be slightly off from IB servers so when backfill data is read in (which obviously does have time on the...

Farside - regarding the charts- instructions: 1) Select OPTIONS/WebUpdate menu, let QuoteTracker update all files 2) Restart QuoteTracker that should get things going for now. Bug with half day holiday definition. Removed the holiday (today) for now. will add it back in on Monday...

Farside - Charts - we are looking into it - has to do with holiday handling. hirsch.im.wald - Spike - email support@quotetracker.com - indicate the exact symbol, QT version AND the timeframe specified for that symbol - not in preferences but on the chart itself - click on the yellow clock...

1) Register QuoteTracker and that increases max # of days on charts to 10 market days: http://www.quotetracker.com/register 2) What datafeed are you using? hopefully one with multi-day backfill 3) We just released a new beta version of QT that has historical charts that work same way as...

EVERYONE's software will be "wrong" if you use IB's datafeed for tick charts simply because IB's datafeed is NOT tick-by-tick, and IB explicitly tells you so. Its not a matter of our algorithm, yours, or someone else's. It is simply impossible to extract EXACT ticks from IB datafeed. You can...

OK, I see. If you are trying to extract ticks and started with volume 13341, you would then have to add one tick for each volume change. You would NOT add a tick just because LastSize=1 was sent, unless a) The LastSize is different from previous LastLize sent on the security and b) there is a...

You are making invalid assumptions. Just because LAST SIZE was updated twice does NOT mean that there were 2 trades of one contract each. All that means is that at that time, the last trade size was 1. That is all. Why it was sent twice is irrelevant. The ONLY thing that could be interpreted as...
