QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

Assuming you are in fact getting backfill from Stockwatch, (check if only Stockwatch is shown on the dashboard), check 2 places:
1) SETTINGS / CHARTS / GENERAL - there is a field for "Max # of Days of Intraday Data [.....]"
2) SETTINGS / Data Sources / Configure Accounts - click on Stockwatch. There is a setting for "Intraday Backfill - Number of Days [....]"

Set both however you want it. Note - though you can put in 40 days for backfill for example, don't do it if you only need to have 20. The more days that need to be retrieved, the longer the backfill process will be.

Jerry by default they were 60 e 40 anyway the intra chart show me 10 days.....i feel retarded..what am i doing wrong?

Msft stopped updating on 10/10/14

I use IB

if indicators like volume show, then most likely there is a bad quote and you have spike filter turned off. Is the scale on the side of the chart showing? If so, but with bad values, then try removing the highest or lowest point on the chart.

If no data shows, then it may be the routing issue with IB, where if for your account MSFT can have multiple routes, IB returns an error when QT tries to get quotes. If that is the case, nothing you can do about it. I know that happened with a few symbols, like IBM, CSCO, MSFT
 
I'm having a data backfill problem with futures data using IB as the data source.

For the last week or two, triggering backfill fills in the data only up to 2 hours from the present time- leaving a gap between realtime data and past data that takes 2 hours to fill.

Stock data backfills seem to work fine, it's the futures data that's affected.

2 hour backfill problem has ended for me.

Wonder if it is because Europe has returned to Standard Time a week before USA does?

Will find out next week.
 
Looks like IB changed something again in TWS, because my accumulated intraday data for CL, etc just disappeared. QT backfills some of the data to October 24 and then it disappears after about an hour of use.

Using TWS 944.3 & Java 1.6.0_06, so can't understand what went wrong:confused:. Anyone have any ideas?

Will see if daylight savings change on Sunday helps (fingers crossed, QT don't give up on me!!!)
 
@wpfund, if you are not using alerts or Paintbars, get Medved Trader to replace QT - The alerts and Paintbars is the only thing it doesn't currently have (working on that). PM me your email address and I can send it to you. That will certainly resolve the issues.
 
Thanks. I have been testing MT on & off for awhile now. The plan was to migrate to MT at the end of the year, but will have to make the move earlier it seems.
 
y, gotta take the big step. I still have to use QT myself since while developing MT I constantly have to restart, reload different settings, etc. So well aware of the issues.
