Error : Tick by Tick Playback resolution unavailable

Postby Emmanuel » 27 Feb 2012

Hi


I am using Tick by Tick playback and I get the following error (see attached message)

"Tick by Tick" Playback resolution unavailable when there is more than one series mixed on the chart.


I am using Multichart 7.4 64 bit, I need the tick by tick playback, with 3 or more dataseries

How can I have 3 or more series of data ?

I have another question, if with tick charts we can use tick by tick playback, why with minute charts we don't have a second by second or even better use tick by tick playback?

Emmanuel, only the following playback resolutions are available on the chart with multiple data series, in market scanner and in the Global mode:
• Minute by Minute;
• Day by Day.
I have another question, if with tick charts we can use tick by tick playback, why with minute charts we don't have a second by second or even better use tick by tick playback?
Arnie, if your chart resolution is set to "N Minute" then the following playback resolutions are available in the Local mode:
• As is (N Minutes) (set by default)
• Tick by Tick
• Minute by Minute (if N > 1)

The following playback resolutions are available in the Global mode:
• Minute by Minute;
• Day by Day.

Hi Henry.

I just hate when this happens. Today I'm not receiving the error I've been receiving every time I tried to view a tick by tick playback on a 1 minute chart.

But, now I'm curious, where is the second by second option?

Arnie, sorry for misinformation, second by second playback is not available.
I have corrected my previous post.

Hi Henry


Thank you for your answer,

Do you know when the tic by tic with multiple data series will be available ?

Why having it, day by day, minute by minute but not tic by tic ?

It is clear that it is necessary.

Emmanuel,

in my opinion one problem with the tick data is dealing with the datafeed timestamps. They are only accurate down do the second, for realtime data MC is receiving, it can add a sequence number knowing which tick arrived first (in case they have the same second as timestamp), but for historic data this lack of sequence number makes it impossible to create a replay outcome that would match the live behaviour tick by tick.
So the only possible way would probably be a second by second replay in global mode, unless the datafeeds would carry the sequence numbers that exchanges provide for every information they report.

Regards,
ABC

Hi ABC

I am using MCFX Datafeed, and we have Tick ID number,(See attached file)

So we do have sequence number for the same second, we do know which one is arrived first,


The Tic by Tic playback is reliable, we are using it.

We just need to use 3 or more data series, for the tic by tic playback (it is available Minute by minute.)

We are asking for it, we need it.

Hello Emmanuel,

Unfortunately such functionality cannot be implemented at the moment due to technical limitations.
We will consider this feature for the future implementation.
