Historical tick data with CQG

Postby bomberone1 » 13 Mar 2023

How is it possible to download many years of ticks data from CQG?

How is it possible to collect and check perfect tick data in Multicharts?

I read that many traders at end of day reload charts to backfilling the lost tick. Is there automation to avoid to reload 40 charts that collects ticks?

Thanks

Hello bomberone1,

MultiCharts downloads data as is, as provided by the data source.

Data can be downloaded by plotting charts, or if your license includes the Advanced Strategy Pack, you can use the Historical Data Download Scheduler to automatically download historical data for selected symbols according to your schedule. For example, you can configure it to download data at the end of the day with the Data Removal set to "Refresh" to reload the existing data.

If you work with charts, it's also possible to reload all charts in a workspace simultaneously and reload only a certain period instead of the whole data range. You can do that via the View menu -> Reload.
More about reloading charts here.
