Re: TS Data Issue "TS/ORCAL already in use.. closing down!"
Thanks Vlada! I've found since writing my post that the issue has not returned.... but if/when it does, I'll follow your instructions.

TS Data Issue "TS/ORCAL already in use.. closing down!"
Hi, This is an issue I've come across again and again, and since there are a few instances of it being mentioned on the forum dating back more than ten years, I thought I'd summarise the solution, and also put the key error message into the title to make it easier to find. I assume you have set up T...

Re: Synchronizing historical orders between computers
Would using AA mode rather than SA mode solve this?
But I think the only way to really know what's happened is from your broker statements?

Re: Premarket Postmarket Equities Sessions and Open/Close Issues [SOLVED]
Further to this post, a friend taught my a trick; leave the one ticker in Quote Manager and amend the session times on the chart; Right click > Format Instruments > Settings > Sessions Better than my earlier solution, this avoids multiple tickers in Quote Manager while allowing you varied session ti...

Re: Bitcoin CME Quote Manager Setup?
Thank you very much Tetsuya, for the explanation and sharing your settings! I'll try that now. I thought 'as is' might be the answer, but couldn't make it work. Super, thanks again.

Bitcoin CME Quote Manager Setup?
Hi everyone, Happy days now that Bitcoin futures are trading on the CME. I'm using IQFeed for data and trading via IB... but first, testing some simple systems. I've imported the BTC contracts into Quote Manager using Add Symbol / From Data Source (symbol is @BTC#). Unsurprisingly, all the imported ...

Re: Caching IB historical data
Yep, understood, no worries! I can't do without IQFeed as I rely on being able to pull in lots of historic data to backtest/ walkforward/ optimise and generally test stuff. All the best! J

Premarket Postmarket Equities Sessions and Open/Close Issues [SOLVED]
Hello everyone! Just want to share a solution I just found to a problem. I'm new to this so of course, holler if I've made any mistakes. I wanted to create a simple entry that says, "buy if today's open is more than 2% higher than y'day's close." for equities (stocks, shares whatever you call 'em wh...

Re: Caching IB historical data
... one thing I have noticed though is a lot of the Symbol data from DTN (maybe not their fault) is faulty. So always check session times and even tick size. I've heard this is common to TS data too.

Re: Caching IB historical data
Hi! Sure... happy to help. I pay $124 a month. It's about $90 for the service, then you pay per exchange on top of that... so I pay $25 for CME futures and $7 for NASDAQ equities. ICE futures is the most expensive; not using that yet, it's $116. The exchanges set the fees, so you won't find a price ...

Re: Caching IB historical data
I had the same issue PLUS all sorts of other things didn't work when I started and was using IB for data. I spent a long time with the excellent MC support who couldn't fix most of it. I eventually found a page on IB that's hard to find that basically admits that they are not a data provider, even t...
