IB simulator has problem with HSI market orders. The fill can be way off (try place market order for 10 HSI you will see what I mean). This is probably what cause your stop order fill to be so much off. Louis

If you are writing your own code, chances are you are not filling in all the required parameters correctly. Try the sample app comes with IB API. It does a decent job getting historical data. You can look at the parameters there.

The latest version of IQFeed is solid. It streams 500 symbols in our in house testing with no problem. The biggest catch for IQFeed is the historical tick data has no second stamp. So the feed is less useful if you chart in sub-minute timeframe. Louis

Was that a beta cycle release? It typically takes 1-2 sub releases to address bugs. So if you report to us the problem one year ago, most likely the bug is already fixed. Give the latest demo a try. If you still see the problem, please let us know. Louis

About language reference in NeoTicker. Short Answer: Just get on with it. Syntax wise we don't deviate from industrial practice. If you are familiar with any programming/formula/scripting language, you can pick it up quickly by reading a few examples. Functions are product specific. You...

Clearwater, There is a stability problem you are having and you like the program in general. So why don't we work on the stability issue? I assume you have contacted support and did not have the problem solved. Can you send me a personal email identifying your client id? I will go through...

We got TickQuest forums up for NeoTicker support questions. http://www.tickquest.com/forums Easier than I previously thought :D. Technology sure has advanced a lot since we last evaluate. Louis

I will take note of what is good in EliteTrader as requirements. But as hosting our company's official support forum in EliteTrader, I have some reservations. Thanks for the suggestion. Louis

We've received a few other complaints about Yahoo group in other channels. I guess from developer's point of view, we read every post (thru email) and do not realise how bad Yahoo group is for users (especially new users) who want to gather info as quickly as possible. Our mistake. I...

We've just released Equity Monaco 1.0. Equity Monaco is a TickQuest product. Equity Monaco is a Monte Carlo Simulator for analyzing trading system perfomance. It works with NeoTicker, but Equity Monaco can also analyze trading system performance from other software. Equity Monaco...

Looks like you want to use script. You can find a complete example in the documentation, under: Programming Guide>Programming Tutorials>Tutorial: Writing a Breakout Trading System. Each part of the code is explained in detail. Again, script is just one way to write a trading system...

Hawker, There are three ways to write trading system in NeoTicker: - Backtest EZ - Formula language - Script/IDL Which one you are using? I can probably point you to the part of doc that describes it. As for PDF, if you need one, email us privately to support@tickquest.com...

John, The operations you described can be all be done by pressing buttons in NeoTicker. To re-use a particular setup, you can easily set up templates. As for strategy, I am not sure if Backtest EZ is available when you evaluated NeoTicker. With Backtest EZ, you do not have to...

John, NeoTicker is way more flexible than most charting apps. Some learning is expected. That's why we provide many tutorials. Simple things like what you've mentioned are not hard to do at all. To illustrate my points: - Creating a chart is as simple as clicking on the new chart...

Probably the other way around. Most apps are poorly written regarding multi-mon window placement you need a separate management tool like powerdesk to place the windows. :)

I have no experience with C# builder. However, your problem sounds like a conflict between your multi-mon management software (e.g. nVidia nview) and C# builder.

1. User defined symbols are defined in user defined symbol manager in NeoTicker. It manages these symbols outside of a chart. You don't have to define all 200 symbols in a single chart. So you can create 5-second, 1-minute, etc bars for holly_grail in any charts. 2. It can plot along...

In NeoTicker. time stamps are easily accessible so you can store them as a variable in gheap. Functions are available to let you convert the timestamp in seconds. As for delay, it depends. As gheap is shared memory, not event, the other indicator has its own calculation loop. If the...
