Request market data from QuoteManager

Postby ctu1121 » 23 Sep 2014

Hi there,
Now I am using Multicharts with IQFeed as data source.
May I request market data from QuoteManager into Excel DDE or Database,
then do some analysis on my Excel or Database?
Thanks for your great help!

Hello ctu1121,

At the moment you can request only real-time data from QuoteManager that could be further extracted into ASCII file and opened in Excel. We are considering a feature that would allow to request historical data in QuoteManager. If you need historical data, you can plot a chart in MC and after it is plotted, export the data either from the same QuoteManager, or directly from the chart in MC.

Now this would be indeed a great feature.
Having to open a chart to download historical data can be quite painful.
I'm remembering IQFeed continuous contracts that one needs to download new data every quarter. One needs to open 3 charts to download the new data. One for minute data, one for daily data and another for volume delta data.

Download all of this data directly from QM, with a single mouse click would be a dream come true :)
