support of backfill from MB Trading ?

Postby ritonlajoie » 30 Jan 2012

Hello !

I see that MCDT supports MB Trading as a broker and as a realtime data provider. Also, it doesn't support historical backfill. I contacted MB Trading to ask them about this issue and told me their api is available and that Multicharts needs to use it.

Do you have any plan on integrating into improving your current MB Trading api so that it supports historical backfills ?

Thanks
H

Hi,


MB Trading provide historical data in the following way:

Forex:
Tick history - 15 Days
Minute Bar history - 170 days
Day Bar history goes back to 01/1995

Equities/Futures:
Tick history - 15 Days
Minute Bar history - 170 days
Day Bar history goes back to 10/2002

Options:
Tick history - 45 Days
Minute Bar history - 35 days.

Please check that Download missing historical data option is checked ( in the main menu of MC go to File --> Preferences --> Data Server Mode).
Also, please right click on the chart and select Format Instrument window. In the Format Instrument window go to the Settings tab and choose From _ To _ option in the Data Range section in order to define the start and end date.

Best Regards,
Katrin Yanenko
