I mentioned that to Andrew a few weeks ago, as a needed feature. MC isn't setup for that for some reason. I have the same need. I know there are Excel merge programs out there but I hope there is an easier way. I'd actually prefer to "convert" or import ascii data into MC native data format, so it b...

bowlesj3: are you sure it's a problem with MC and not with your monitor setup software ? (If it works ok on your single monitor) I know I had some trouble getting my 4 monitors to work the way I wanted. I have IB on the far right screen and 3 MC windows in the left 3 monitors. I had to set some thin...

I noticed after updating to beta3, using xp sp3, that continuous contracts weren't updating. I also tried to load 140 days of data (300000 ES contracts, worked in beta2), and it was stuck on "backfilling" all night. I had to shorten up the days to 50 to get the chart to load. I had 2 contracts of ES...

** I hope you're using "select all", then "connect symbol". Only takes a few seconds. I occasionally had to do it with other versions, when using MC offline and needed to access the QM. The next time I went RT, they stayed off. (so I had to manually connect them) Actually, no I am not doing select ...

After upgrading from 6.0 beta 2 to beta 3, all my instruments in QuoteManager had to be manually set to "Connect Symbol". In other words, prior to beta 3 they were set to "Connect" and would automatically record historical data as soon as QuoteManager was launched, which I do in my Startup folder. ...

Using a fresh copy of tws working directory didn't help. Still have the problem with "use server timestamps" turned on. Now turned if off and all OK again. So, it appears attempting to use the IB gateway has nothing to do with it. ** Good , thanks for the update, I'm still going back to the previou...

If you suspect it may have something to do with a TWS setting that's changed, it's easy to specify a new settings directory e.g. C:\JTS2 instead of C:\JTS to force TWS to start completely anew (you can always switch back to your previous settings) - this will allow you to easily check if you think ...

My backup computer stopped updating ES mid-morning today- I shut it down and went back to the previous version of TWS. I'm going to do the same on my main computer tonight. So far it is working ok on my main computer, but I don't trust the new TWS, they changed something that MC doesn't like. Beware...

I agree on the data2 trading. There are probably two camps here -- camp 1 are algo traders who don't care about a DOM and discretionary trading, and who would really like to see the ability to submit traders to a data2 timeframe. Then there are camp 2, who are discretionary traders using two platfo...

It was weird for me as ONLY the ES symbol was effected (futures and continuous contracts). I deleted all of yesterday's ES data (bid-ask-trade data) and cleared the ES cache, UNCHECKED the server data option, then let MC backfill and now the data is ok. I haven't tried it in RT though, Sunday night...

I updated TWS last night and my ES contract was collecting intermittantly all day, I checked and the "use server timestamps" was checked. My backup computer is running a 2nd copy of MC and the ES contract was ok, I checked and the "use server timestamps " was unchecked. I'm not sure how to fix it ot...
