Re: IQ Feed and Historical Download [SOLVED]

Could I suggest that the IQ Feed prefs allow for daily bars to be built from minute data. This would allow flexibility of session times and a longer history from IQ Feed.

Re: PROBLEM WITH DATA FEED WEBANK & MULTICHARTS

Hello Zhutroomdomy,

I am not sure i understand what is the problem on the screenshot. Do you mean that there is a gap between last bar for yesterday and first bar on chart? Or that the last price on chart differs from last price in market scanner?
