Yes, I have CQG IC and have traded mini Russel many times (including today and yesterday) directly with the CQG interface so realtime data is definitely enabled and is not the issue. Any other thoughts?

thx

Hi Henry,

Realtime data and trading privileges are and have always been enabled for Russel 2000 with my broker so I don't think that would be the issue.

Hello, I'm running Muticharts version 9.1 build 12587 with CQG as my data provider and broker. I've set up a market scanner with about 20 futures contracts and am getting updated prices correctly on all but one contract, the mini russel 2000 futures (CQG symbol TFEU16), which is blank in market scan...

Hello, I've set up a market scanner with a few instruments that are ascii mapped to text files files that are updated once per day after the end of the trading session with the latest day's data. The files are 5 minute intraday continuous data files that hold relatively long history (+7yrs) of each ...

thanks guys. will give it a go.

in other words, what would be the line of code or reference word that would access these extra data points (columns).

something I would guess like value1=close, except "close" is the word that references the values I'm trying to get perhaps?

Got it.

I don't see any type of sample code in the manuals that would do that. Could you give an example or just a starting point of what type of easylanguage code would accomplish this, or could you point me to a manual or somewhere that would show me how this can be coded?

Hi Andrew,

that's correct; Acii mapping, and the files are updated at the end of the day, once per day.

hello, I have some continuous intraday (5 min bar) data series that have some additional data after the usual data (date, time open, high,low, close). this includes (in the next fields after close) tickvolume, and the actual contract month of the current contract in YYYYMM format. so each row in the...

yes, disabling that feature fixed the problem. Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to autotrade a few markets with 5 minute bars with a system that uses a second series of data in the data2 area. The data1 series (the traded market) are simply the current month realtime futures contract from CQG, while the data2 series is the same market, also 5 minute bars but ...

thanks very much, this is working now. One more thing I'm trying to do is trade a strategy on the same sort of data (ascii mapped historical 5 minute bars combined with realtime CQG data for current day's bars) on 10 different futures contracts, as opposed to just 1 I am able to do through the chart...

HI, I am trying to place orders through Multicharts via CQG to my broker (Jefferies). Connections for data and trading are set and working properly. I noticed that I am successful in doing this when creating a chart that uses only the realtime data from CQG. However, when I try to use a chart that I...

thanks for the reply. yes, something like that but I don't think this code would quite work because the relevant high <> low should be for the "next bar" and not the current bar. If I just use the high<>low it will use that formula on the current bar and take the trade on the next bar, even if that ...

hello, Is there a way either programmatically, or within Multicharts itself to avoid a system taking a trade during a limit up or limit down day? I am testing an intraday system that, in its historical backtesting, is taking some long trades during limit up moves that wouldn't have been able to have...

ok. thank you very much for your help!

yes, the 9:31 timestamp is the correct first bar, and ideally I would like to see this as a 9:30 timestamp, so I can be accurate with my intraday trading systems which look at specific times throughout the day, although I'm sure I can work around it, if there is no way to show the 9:30 time as the b...

Thanks very much Andrew. this seems to work with the exception of the fact that I get time stamps of 1 minute later than the actual time. For instance, I can see the first bar of the day now, but I get a 9:31 am time stamp for this first bar instead of a 9:30 am time stamp. (next bar is 9:36 instead...

Hi Andrew, I'm using a 5 minute intraday bar data file. I tried mapping and importing the data into MC but found the same issue on both. I also found that I was unable to create day bars out of the 5 minute bars when mapping, I was only able to d this after importing. As a sperate issue, is there a ...

Hello, When I try to create a 5 minute bar chart of e mini S&P futures out of my historical intraday data file with day session only data and use custom session times of 9:30 - 16:15 local (NYT) in Quote manager, for some reason the chart starts at 9:35 am instead of 9:30am even though my data file ...
