Medved QuoteTracker and IB
- Thread starter trader963
- Start date
to use the IB realtime data feed (very cheap) with a good charting and backtest software try www.finantic.de/en/ibdata
This connects IB's TWS with wealth-Lab developer, one of the best software tools for backtest and trading system analysis.
Enjoy!

Paradox,
How does the ES and NQ work with Quotetracker & IB. I ask because the time I tried it for the intraday chart I could only get data on the time I'm logged in, so if you go out for a while, there will be blank spots in the chart.
Did I do something wrong? or is there a setting to fix this?
Also, do they have multi day charts?
Thanks.

I use quotetracker with IB as a backup chart in cases when my primary datafeed goes down. But like someone else said, you can't do backfill with IB, so unless you already had it running all day (I start it every morning first thing and just leave it minimized) you're toast. If you also use Quote.com, backfill is easy, BUT, the symbols don't match up with IB so you can't backfill your chart from IB with Quote.com. A symbol map between feeds is a feature I'd like to see added.
It doesn't have alot of indicators or customization potential, but it's a good backup, and a good way of charting things that may or may not be provided by your datafeed but that you can get in IB.

My God some of you guys can't get anything right.
QT works very well with IB. So as for working well togther, that is not a problem and never has been. The problem is IB does not support backfill so if you're not logged on you have gaps. The other problem is QT only supports current day charting. That is up to now... in a few days a beta with 5 day charting and TICK charts will be released. 5 days is better than 1 but still weak imo.
So that's the news.
Maybe it's enough for you and maybe it isn't...
But don't come on here saying you couldn't figure out how to get the two married...my god they were the simplest install and config I've ever done! It's like they were made for each other.
ps yes, sierrachart & IB work just as well, and sierra is a great program.
