For 1 day of data, IB returns 1 min bars. We could do multiple hits each time we do a backfill - one for 1 day and another for 5 days, but a) thats going to put double the load on the servers b) we would have to program it - not something that can be implemented in existing versions c) it...

version77, I can't speak for other developers, but we are definitely not "threatened" by IB charts :) As for the API, I do have a problem with the expanded time frames on the data. The currently planned expansion where the data will be available for a week, but at the expense of higher...

IBSoft - is that 1 week at 1 minute frequency, or only at higher frequencies? kiwi_Trader - The data for the historical quotes has timestamps either in the local time on the computer requesting the data, or GMT, depending on what the calling application sends. I really do not see any use for...

Please note that QuoteTracker has a trading API that allows other programs to connect to it and place trades through QuoteTracker supported brokers in an automated fashion. So if you find some program that fits your needs otherwise, you can ask them to integrate with QT's trading API. Docs are...

Options/Edit preferences/Multi day timeframes is not where you select the timeframe. That is where you configure new timeframes and select default if QT does not automatically assign one. you have to change timeframes on the chart itself since each chart can have a different one. To do...

Lois Price, If you get this again, zip up and email us the following files so we can look at the setup: STOCKS.INI PORT.XML CHARTS.INI CACHE\SDATA.DMP HOLIDAYS.XML send to support@quotetracker.com Since we did not get a ton of email on this, its not likely to be a bug. Mostlikely...

sounds like the backfill is not the problem. The problem is the chart timeframe setting on the ES chart. click on the yellow clock button on the auto-hide toolbar. What timeframe do you have selected? (Should be CME Globex I believe)

Yes, thats not a problem. The only issue may be with symbols (other than equities). If you double click on a symbol used by cyber to fill in the trade panel, it will not be recognized by IB - you would have to modify the symbol in the trade panel. If you are trading futures, you can of course...

rokafella, our support is to answer questions and resolve problems that might come up, not to pander to people's sensibilities. On busy days, some answers are short. Thats due to time constrains, not rudeness. Having said that, our message boards tend to be more of a community than many...

a) how was I spamming by replying to the post? b) it seems that you are the one needing an attitude adjustment - there was no attitude in my reply one way or another.

IQFeed, MarketFeed, Stockwatch and eSignal. MarketFeed and Stockwatch for Equities and Options only

If you are just looking at % gain and range, why do you need backfill at all? Just get the quotes on the given portfolio. Backfill is only needed for charts. Go to OPTIONS/Data Sources menu, BACKFILL tab, select Interactive Brokers if not already selected, then check the box to auto-backfill...

Arca - bet the beta version. The datafeed changed since the production release of QT http://www.quotetracker.com/beta

Scott, not sure what you mean by "I have to request backfill for all symbols"? You mean it would not work for individual ones but would if you requested all? Indices - IB does support many indices but we have not configured them in QT as an index source because IB only supported 40 symbols...

IB had some issues today with the backfill data.

Support for Backfill for Interactive Brokers has been released in the 3.5.9F beta version of QuoteTracker: http://www.quotetracker.com/beta If webupdating, then after you update and QT restarts, WebUpdate one more time (the backfill config will only get updated once you are running the new...

Have not had a chance to play with it during live data so did not catch that.

lojze, just get a 2nd monitor

mike screwed up the menu selection. If you download the full install again and just install over the existing version, it will fix (download the beta) The menu item will be in the right click menu, VIEW... if the chart is set to TICK chart.

Considered it but not something that will happen in the near future. Don't have time to deal with that.
