rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Regular bag of worms, had to revert to the prior version with a reset MT dead in the water this morning with a bunch of errors - have the MT export file - Jeesh! How to get that to here is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Oke doke - seems the heart of the problem is I have lost the feed from IB - Now how to get that back from memory is a conundrum - likely in global configuration, love going there - not sorry for the time wasting posts - us quill pen guys get lost in all this technology sometimes ------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 1) If you want to have a local copy of TWS, install that. 2) run TWS 3) make sure API is enabled (Global Configuration in TWS, then select API, and check the top box) 4) Once you did that, start MT and select IB as the quote source on top of the portfolio window, in the MAIN tab on the ribbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thank you for your patience. TWS is always running, was into checking the API when I read your reply. That's Ok and I have Trusted IP address as 127.0.0.1, Socket port 7496. Not sure what Logging level = error is all about. Had trouble finding the MAIN tab on the ribbon, have only a small watch list active. Whatever, all is working now with the list of symbals updating. STILL not able to update the few interday charts I have open. Backfill all and other attempts have come to zero so far. I have IB listed as the backfill source. As I said before many thanks for your patience. If I can just get the few charts backfilled I'll be a happy punter again ------ Nice product you have here, it's been working well up to this little personal glitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 No dice on getting the interday charts to backfill, only have 5 open together with raw data, all are still stuck in pre market from this morning. The watchlist of about 9 symbols is alive and well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 What exact symbols? on the chart, look at the VIEW tab. What is the "Timeframe" set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Current day, this is in a box after Extended hours. Below that US equity markets which is ticked in the dropdown menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 "US Equity Markets" is the one I was looking for. But you didn't indicate which symbols, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Symbols I'm looking at are TZA, NUGT, DUST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 and GDX in relation to the last two mentioned previously. All these used to have the pressure bar on the RH side, Not there now which still leaves the raw data which is dead. If it throws any light on the matter, just scrolled through the raw data on DUST - Shows date, time and individual volume for today but no 'Bid" 'Ask" figures. The last time was 14.52.52 which then reverts to 21.19.39. All showing the date as 08/03/15 so perhaps that was from last friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 No bid or ask means that the data in question is from backfill, not from the level one quotes coming in real time. If the quotes in the portfolio are updating, then most likely you have a future quote. Can you just clear all data on all the symbols in the portfolio and see if they start updating in raw data? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Jerry thanks so much, that seems to have got things back on an even keel. Old *arts like me would be lost without you. Just quit and reloaded MT and everything seems fine with the deleted data reinstated. Just noticed the computer time and date here was all screwed up, a.m./p.m. out of squiff. Had a regular 'tear your hair out' weekend playing with Mr. Softy and his dreaded updates, so the problem was all this end. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 ah, that actually explains everything. Computer date/time being screwed up would cause lots of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotor Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 All is well that ends well as the saying goes - Thanks again. Phew! after the wasted weekend and today, it feels like friday already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
