Just to chime in with my experience... I recently switched to Fidelity from TDA and can definitely see the difference in execution speed, TDA trade systems are markedly quicker. I scalp small caps and rely heavily on fast execution, do get great fills when the order processes quickly on Fidelity but I have missed a few entries in the couple of weeks I've been testing. I have many other accounts with them so will likely give it another month to see if I can adjust my trading, if not may switch back to Schwab after the merger is ironed out.

May 10th here as well. Thanks Jerry!

here is the thing. Having MT return a consistent value is a technical issue and I can deal with that. However, deciding which # is right for float seems to be completely arbitrary. For example, I checked multiple sources for the same symbol and got wildly different values. For example symbol HSCS:
Yahoo Finance: 56.19M
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/HSCS/key-statistics?p=HSCS
Finviz: 8.34M
https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=HSCS&ty=c&ta=1&p=d
MarketWatch: 8.77
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/hscs?mod=mw_quote_tab
Webull: 38.1M
At least for HSCS 2 of them were close. For others, they are all completely different. Of course on something like AAPL, all 4 are identical
How do I validate?Ahh yes the wonderful world of small caps, reverse splits, and secondary offerings lol. Yes, free float discrepancy is frequently discussed amongst fellow low-float traders, hell even with premium data feeds you still see discrepancies. I'm quite certain there isn't a single data source that's 100% accurate when it comes to small caps.
That said and of those 4 sources you listed, I'd absolutely go with the broker (Webull) value every time as they have an obligation to report correct data particularly on day 1 of R/S trading. NOT to say it'll be perfect but they'll more often than not have the correct values compared to the other three which in my experience can be delayed. I think it's more important to have a consistent source as I'm quite used to comparing float data from multiple places anyhow, would just be great to know that MT is pulling from a single source/broker. Thanks

It doesn't happen on every single ticker, maybe half of the ones I've tested. Here's another... again the lower value is correct.

which values are correct?
Its the lower value of the two that's correct, always. I just checked quite a few.

had to do with getting data from 2 sources. I tweaked some changes. Will be in next update (1.1.9932.145 or higher)
Thank you Jerry but it appears this is still happening. Float is bouncing between incorrect/correct when I click through the portfolio tickers. I'm on 1.1.9932.155.
Examples...
-
I keep a Detailed Quote window open at all times, helps to quickly view Float when clicking through Portfolio tickers. Recently I noticed the Float data is inconsistent, for example if I click a ticker once it shows the correct Float but if I click away and back to the same ticker, the data is sometimes roughly doubled. Any ideas?
Examples...
VTVT correct float is 632K incorrect is 1.28M.
COCH correct float is 7.10M incorrect is 15.53M.

To be fair to MT though, it seems different platforms treat daily candles in different ways. For example TDA doesn't print a daily candle during premarket but IBKR does.
-
Yes, it began printing the 5/25 daily at 8AM EST which is a bit strange IMO.
I can see how printing of a daily candle AT ALL during premarket can be confusing because the market hasn't even opened, daily candles don't factor in extended hours.
-
Seems it prints a new candle at 8AM EST and not the start of premarket 4AM EST.
-
Just to add a bit more as it's something I just noticed, during premarket (aka. Now) the current daily candle is still yesterdays candle. Today is the 25th but the active daily candle is still 5/24. Doesn't seem right...
-
Makes sense, just helping to clarify.

Hi,
I understand what Hans is saying cause, it throws me off occasionally. I guess another way to explain it is we don't want to FULLY disable real-time updating for historical cause it can be useful during regular hours (daily patterns, etc) but if there was an option to disable real-time historical updating ONLY during pre/post hours that would be helpful. From 4AM-9:30AM the historical would simply be paused at previous days close, resume real-time updating at open, then pause at close once again.All backfilled historical candles only take into account regular hours so why have the current daily candle update real-time during pre/post when there's an intraday chart.
Hope that helps.

Do you have to subscribe to the imbalances at IB and if so is there a fee? (And Lord, I hate IB API).
Yes, you must subscribe to IB imbalance data for a couple bucks but it is available via API. Any chance you can get it implemented into MT? Having imbalance volume/indicative price would help immensely trading halts, IPOs, etc.
https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/tick_types.htmlAuction Volume
The number of shares that would trade if no new orders were received and the auction were held now. IBApi.EWrapper.tickSize 225
Auction Price
The price at which the auction would occur if no new orders were received and the auction were held now- the indicative price for the auction. Typically received after Auction imbalance (tick type 36) IBApi.EWrapper.tickPrice 225
Auction Imbalance
The number of unmatched shares for the next auction; returns how many more shares are on one side of the auction than the other. Typically received after Auction Volume (tick type 34) IBApi.EWrapper.tickSize 225

Possible make this user configurable rather than a max of 6 rows? If not, maybe a max of 10 or 12?
Thx
-
Hi guys,
Any progress on making the Research functionality user configurable? Would be awesome being able to customize the URL and simply pass the ticker to the site.
Thanks
-
Oh man very glad I asked... exactly what I needed. This works perfectly for my needs.
THANK YOU Mike!
-
Any chance there will ever be the ability to synchronize hist/intraday trendlines? My daily routine starts with drawing daily levels so would be great to have them on intraday charts... even if it's a manual "Copy from historical" button or what not, would prevent having to redraw them.
I know its been asked before... just curious if there are any plans for it.
Thanks

Occasionally when an OCA leg fills OR the entire order cancelled, one or both legs remain showing as open orders on L2. To clear them you have to click to another ticker or refresh on the account view window, though sometimes MT throws an exception when hitting refresh.
Regular limit orders disappear immediately from L2 when filled, as expected.

I don't see a single NSDQ price level on either PROD/BETA Lvl 2. I'm subscribed to everything needed to get NSDQ depth, am also subscribed to ARCA depth which is working fine. Totally understand if smaller regionals and such aren't available via API but not NSDQ as that's most of the liquidity. Plus ppl have been complaining about seeing "only" NSDQ which is even more strange
Subscriptions:Level 1:
NYSE (Network A/CTA)
NYSE American, BATS, ARCA, IEX, and Regional Exchanges (Network C / UTP)
NASDAQ (Network C/UTP)
Level 2:
NASDAQ TotalView-OpenView
NYSE ArcaBook
I've tested the latest TWS and IB gateway clients just to rule them out, same behavior. Definitely odd.
-
NSDQ does show in TWS. I understand the IB API doesn't expose the same data... but I can't fathom they've stopped sending NSDQ over their "Nasdaq" feed.
-
A lot of posts of people seeing only the NSDQ MM in their Level 2 feed but I'm having the opposite problem. NSDQ seems to be the only one missing? I'm subscribed to IB TotalView and the "subscribed to TotalView" option checked in MT.
Surely I'm missing something.

Jerry,
Something seems to have changed with regards to LULD updates using Quotemedia.
After you implemented this fix in Dec, the QM LULD bands were updating perfectly every 30 seconds but it now sometimes takes a very long time. I took a screenshot this AM, you can see the price action was above the LULD upper limit which it should never be, obviously. The bands did eventually update but at that point the levels were minutes behind and invalid.
Do you think this a QM feed issue as Mike hinted to in another thread? I reached out to their support to see what they say, awaiting a response.
Sorry to be pestering y'all about LULD but it's core to my trading.
Thx

Well, I display the LULD value as soon as I receive it from QM
Try asking QM whether they can do this more timely.lol fair enough
On 3/15/2022 at 10:02 AM, 3acor said:Overall, how would you compare DxFeed to QM, I am with QM but might think of switching to DxFeed for the unlimited symbols
3acor,
Having used both data feeds, I'll be sticking with dxFeed as I need accurate LULD info. If your trading doesn't require Level II depth or LULD then QM is fine otherwise.

Fidelity fills and missed positions
in Support
Posted
Yep
Judging by a bunch of reddit threads seems many ppl aren't happy with the overall Chucky Schwab experience and are jumping ship to Fidelity... my hope is this influx of new day trader accounts pressures them into improving the trading/API infrastructure. Only time will tell...
