  1. ok that makes it more clear. Thanks.  Here is what is happening.  you have portfolio getting data from dx.  You have Level II/DOM getting data from Tradestation.  

    When you add symbol to portfolio, Level I data comes from there and you see the fast updates.

    When you remove the symbol from portfolio, the currently "Active" source for the symbol is TradeStation (On Level II), so that is what the chart switches to and that is why you see the data slow down (TS Level I data is 1 sec updates).

    this only comes up when multiple sources used at the same time. Do this... open another Level II window. Set it to dxFeed source, link it same color as those others, and just minimize it if you dont need it.  Now Go to SETTINGS / DATA SOURCES / CONFIGURE ACCOUNTS.  Select TradeStation.  On the right side, set the Smart Source Priority to NEVER.

    add symbol to portfolio then remove it now.  Should work OK. 

    Right now without Level II window getting dx data, it goes to Tradestation since that is an active source. I will need to see if that can be changed.

  2. you are kind of mixing things up.  Raw data does not get data from external sources at all. It is just a passive window on the data stored in MT in a central database.

    Portfolios request data from external sources such as dxFeed and that data is stored in a central database in MT. 
    Backfill data is also stored
    Charts request data from external sources same as portfolios. The difference is that charts dynamically select which source to get the data from based on what Portfolios or other windows are open and streaming data

    Level II, DOM and Depth Chart windows also request data, BUT that is NOT stored so will not show in raw data.

    Account View windows request data as well. but by default does NOT store, so will not show in raw data

    You are overthinking it. In general, have at least one portfolio open even if minimized.  If you have a raw data window open, you probably want to have it linked to a chart window. that way if symbol changes, chart window changes too and active data is streamed. If chart is set to backfill (which it is by default) it will also occur on that symbol change

  3. watchlist and portfolio are used interchangeably. Watchlist is just another type of portfolio. 

    if symbol is on a chart, it will also get the data that will be seen in raw data. Charts basically use Smart Source logic for figuring out which source to use. So they check if symbol in question is in an open portfolio, then if in another active window such as Level II or trading account window. etc. or if not, it will use one of the active portfolio streaming sources first

  4. TradeStation does not have LULD. However, that is part of Level I data, not Level II. It is just shown on Level II as well, so if you have dxFeed for Level I, you would see LULD High/low in portfolios as well as on L II and DOM.

    Raw data is passive - it shows whatever MT has. Portfolio is the easiest way to control that. So if you have portfolio getting data from dxFeed, that is where raw data is coming from. 

    DOM scroll - no, cannot be adjusted though double click on center column will immediately center it. 

  5. can you please send the log

    Go to FILE / HELP => Send Log/Settings to support menu (from Dashboard or Portfolio)

    And add this Post’s URL in the comment. 

    and also email the screenshot of the R|Trader Pro login screen just before you login...  send to support   at medvedtrader.com 

  6. if the lower section is not filled out, there will be no market data.  It needs to be filled out.   Ninja has their own data, so not comparable.

    So, did you login with R|Trader Pro with the market data section filled out and system set to "Rithmic Test"?

  7. We've made progress in the last few days - so now have almost everything in place for when we release. Just waiting on a few fixes to be released in production on Schwab servers.   As for futures, once the initial API stuff is released, I am sure the spotlight will be switched to that.   For the time being, futures do work for quotes and backfill, so that will be in the initial release.
