QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

Quote from pescador:

Actually I would pay a higher monthly fee in order to be able to continue using it.
I am sure there are a lot of people who would do it, just because it is a superior program
to many others. So maybe Jerry could still make some money with it buying back?

Lately I began to have a look at AmiBroker. Seem also good, but a very different beast.
Does anyone have experience with both? How does its charting capabilities compare to QT?
Is it worth to make a change to AB, or are there better options?

I also tried Ninja some time ago, but it does not run on Linux, and even on Windows it is much slower and clumsier than QT. And it has no free floating charts... :eek:

I use AmiBroker for EOD charting and QT for intraday work. Yes, they are two different animals. For my style of trading AmiBroker cannot be a substitute for QT despite it being excellent software. Using the two together was working very well for me.

After years of using QT I had it tuned and set up so I could 'see' the entire market at a glance in all the detail I needed. It would take to long to describe what I have it doing for me save to say I am going to miss it badly when it does go and sorely wish some miracle would happen to keep it alive. After trying other software I still shake my head when I switch back to QT and see how simply and elegantly it works. It is difficult to believe something this beautiful can being willingly let die. :( :mad: :confused:

I once bought a lifetime licence for Qt. Jerry let that die with no compunction. So why should Ameritrade feel any more guilt?

I'm just saying there is a lot of value in that software. To just through it away is a waste.
 
I was using RealTIck for years for free until I tried QT. I found QT to be far better and I switched to QT. I would be willing to pay a monthly fee for the continued use of QT. I will also close the account I have with AT when they no longer support QT. I would like to see Jerry get QT back if he wants QT.

I too would pay more. Other new platforms may do some things better than QT but QT does enough things very well for me to make money. If they added nothing to it from now till forever I would still be able to trade based on the simple clear charts I use. I don't need new bells and whistles. I did ask for an arc tool but I can easily live without that.

Do you remember how long ago it was when you took a look at NT?
 
Just recently had (again) a look at NT and a conversation with their support.

It's ridiculous: You can't have constant volume charts with IB backfill in this program!

That's something that QT could do for ages though it has a long standing and ennoying bug in the way it does it.


Bottomline is for me ist that NT doesn't really care about IB users.
They want you to subscribe to some extra backfill service (barcharts is apparently their favorite).

We care very much for all our clients including those using IB. Currently you are right in that NinjaTrader cannot construct volume bars nor any bar that requires historical tick data when using IB as a data provider. This is because IB does not support historical tick data. If/when they do, NinjaTrader will support this.

QT can and does construct volume bars from non-tick data (like IBs) for ages.

It is absolutely not necessary to have tick data to build volume bars.

Also IB is supplying historical data down to the 1 sec level.
This is for sure close enough to tick data.
