    Fidelity datafeed does not support Level II

    as for intraday - are quotes working? Do you have a portfolio open and getting quotes from Fidelity and is it updating OK?

    Do you have backfill set to either Fidelity or SmartSource?

    Intraday charts have no incoming data. Set on Fidelity for backfill. Tried SmartSource and nothing. Portfolio open. The Chart column is blank in the header.  All my other columns are working Historical Daily Chart has data and works. No Depth Chart, DOM or Level II

    My MT shows I'm hooked up to Fidelity but pop-up boxes keep coming up saying my account moved to Schwab from TD. Fidelity doesn't exist in my drop-down box for Level II. Daily charts for let's say SPY don't show any volume or price movement, even though the main dashboard shows let's say 249k shares traded. The index tab shows Fidelity. Bid Ask blink and show changes on the dash board but no movement shows up on my daily chart. 

    My daily historical chart works, shows volume, etc but intra-day charts show nothing. No volume, indicators haven't moved, Fidelity is not offered as an option for Level II when I left-click on the intraday chart either.

    Not a dumb question at all - I won't claim this is the official answer (wait for Jerry for that), but I would assume you would not get data from TDA because you could no longer sign into your account - you don't have a TDA account after you're switched to Schwab. I'm afraid unless you open an account with a broker that's on MT's current data feed list (like Fido), you will only be able to get delayed data from Yahoo, the only free data source MT has. I already opened a Fido account just as a backup data source in case TDA didn't delay my switch, was a piece of cake. Just put $100 into it until I decide whether to move everything except my ROTH from TDA to Fido - will probably keep the ROTH with Schwab in order to get faster real time data from Schwab, the kind TDA currently provides - above Jerry said Fido is only updated once a second - shouldn't matter in most cases, but for traders watching L2 and raw time and sales it could make a diff. I don't like the paperwork nightmare of keeping accounts with 3 different brokers straight - I opened a decent sized Ally Invest account when they first offered MT for free but they have since severed ties with MT, pulled access to their API, so I might open a 2nd Fido account and transfer the Ally account to it  - zero reason to keep the Ally account open, and they degraded their website so badly they removed the ability for you to download transactions in csv or QFX formats - unbelievable.

    Thanks for the response. Just did a Fidelity account now.
