  1. Medvedtrader using Quotestream datafeed

    in General

    Posted

    I woul like to share my impressions of the new datafeed fo MT.

    I was trying it yesterday after the signup.

    My choice was  Nyse/Amex/Nasdaq quotes , for 120 symbols (they have several choices up to more than 1200 symbols) 

    Until last week i was using IB quotes.

    My first impression  is QT quotes are much more faster than IB quotes, maybe even faster than IQfeed . Quotes cover all day long of trading (from pre to post market included) and are tick byt tick.

    I was trying them connecting Trade Ideas with Medvedtrader (with the external link directed to the time and sales of the MT platform). The speed loading charts was fantastic compared with the speed of loading them with IB.

     

    Considering the cost (28 usd ) , i think  is a must for those who use MT and strongly recommend to try them. The savings comparing with IQfeed are enormous.

    Plus, once they will activate the lvl 2 feed service and news, with just 15/20 usd the circle will be complete.

     

     

  3. New section for the Forun .

    in Feature Requests

    Posted

    Maybe could be usefull a new section for the forum , like  "General"  , to share ideas between users and/or open discussions on general topics about MT related use. 

    For example, i would like to share with  the comunity  my impressions on the new Quotestream datafeed for MT, but doesnt fit in any section a topic like this.

    I think you are viewing NASDAQ TotalView, while MT is showing OpenBook. if you enter AMD:NYSE into MT Level II, does it show OK? Also, add MMID column to MT window. If still no match, please email me and I can look further at that specific stuff. One other thing is that TWS may be doing multiple subscriptions, like to NYSE, ISLAND and Others. MT cannot do that because of IB's restrictions on # of L II subscriptions

    Done, but no mmid in MT to compare..

    As far as IB, I fixed stuff in the last build for getting Level II for OTC/PINK sheet stocks.

    As for others, if you do not have a TOTALVIEW or NYSE OpenBook subscription, TWS shows some book from other ECNs, BUT there is no way to get that data from their API. I confirmed it with them

    I have all subscriptions , but  as you can see in the image,  something is wrong. In the IB lvl2  you see how many shares/levels .  And in MT lvl2 just some .

    Mike, why not to create a Discord channel  for MT?  is faster , easy to use and have screenshare in case you need to help users in realtime.

    Its possible to post charts, files to dowload and of course a chat for all MT users to exchange  ideas.

    Its free for all :)

    I thought it was not streaming (updated every second is "snapshot" not streaming) because you mentioned before you were using Yahoo.

    Ah Ok! Well yes , is a snapshot every second. But for the purpose is ok anyway.. If i found  a symbol interesting, i drag it into the second portflio with IB/IQfeed quotes. The scanner works well even with a 1 second "delay" . :)

    That's good - but the source is not streaming :) MT only recalculates the scans when new data comes in. If new data comes in 10 times a second, that will eat up CPU. Of course, there are only a few stocks that are that liquid, so...

    The source  for quotes is Yahoo, updated  each second. Not the best but enough to give signals. Why  you think is not streaming?   (in that screenshot i used the filter)

    I think is not needed two sources. Only one.

    The idea is in the first place to make a complete scan (for all symbols of nasdaq/Amex/Nyse) to find the 100/200/300 stocks moving at the time (with a predefined parameters as Performance/volume). Once MT find the best candidates it create a list with which will continue running as a scan with the paintbar/scan selected. repeating this every 1/2/3 or 5 min. 

    No need to use more than one datasource. For example IB allow 100 symbols (included), Directa 300, IQFEED 500 and so on, at the same time.  If you want i can show how it runs in another platform which use the same datafeeds as MT, via screenshare with Discord, just let me know when you can connect with whats up.

    As i told Jerry time ago, i think the scanner should be modified a little. The same way Multicharts and others are working.

    The scanner should have a complete list of symbols (Nyse/nasdaq/Amex) included  and a set of basic filters to  make a fast check (once in a minute?)  to pick the best 50/100 stock matching the basic conditions sets (example performance/volume etc). And automatically generates/filter  a dynamic  watchlist . Once the "dinamyc" WL is generated the scanner applies the scanner/paintbars conditions  made by users.

    Hope i explained well :) what i mean. 

    The biggest problems at this time is to have in the WL the symbols that are currently moving. The only solution is to make a monster list, but pc performance suffers. This is why  is necessary to find a way for MT to build a WL automatically with the usefull symbols of the day.

    Jerry told me that could be an abuse of the datafeed, but perhaps not if the "general scan " is done only one time each minute or two , and only for the basic features (quote, performance, volume). After this "big scan" , MT updates the WL (50/100 symbols) and the scanner continues scanning only those symbols for the next minute or two.

    merlin: that's a fairly intense scan - and you're running it on a lot of symbols. Can you tell me what your CPU and memory consumption is when you're running this (and with what feed?)

    16GB ram, ssd 128 GB,. Usually i scan one portfolio with about 1300 symbols with the yahoo feed and one with a6/10 (watchlist) with IQFEED or IB quotes. At the same time i run TWS (IB), Darwin (Directa), TI (Trade Ideas) , Karspersky (antivirus) and and some browser pages. All is running ok. 

    Sometimes the performance suffers if i open too many charts, but usually i'm fine with no more than 3 MT charts. Monday i will run all togheter again and will make some screenshotos with the performance of Mem and pcu usage. (Currently the list is 1407 symbols)

    That is exactly what I was looking to do in MT, is there any way to do it today ?

    Not yet as i intended. I hope Jerry and mike will consider to add it. Is a kind of "semi automated" trading.

    Usually i like to buy shares for 3000 usd and i would like to have a way to do this for every ticket with a preset ordfer (and MT calculate the number of shares as well the bracket order associated) to it). This way its possible to enter a trade with just one button (or two considering the "confirm" option). I saw this feature in another platform and is great.

    Hi; you can link trade ideas with MT  opening the linking feature of TI , create a link and dropping it in one of the  "raw data" of MT. Will not work  with the chart, but works good with the raw data. I used it last month.
