Jerry Medved Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Just emailed you. Which brokerage or datafeed do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuda Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Scottrade, Schwab and Etrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I see. We do not currently support those, though do plan to add E*Trade (waiting forever for them to get us needed API for streaming market data). Â Â for now you can use either delayed quotes from Yahoo, or get a subscription datafeed to use with MT from: IQFeed: http://www.iqfeed.net Money.net: http://www.money.net Stockwatch:Â http://www.stockwatch.com/User/Subscribe.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuda Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm sadly surprised. I was certain you had at least two of those popular firms. Â I guess for now I'll continue to use QT (I use a relative's sign in credentials-with permission- with Ameritrade) and those firms' proprietary software when needed. Â Hope you get at least one of those firms soon. Â Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Schwab - maybe will change once they finish the integration with optionsXpress. Who knows.  For now no go.  Scottrade - never cooperated (same with QT)  E*Trade - we can configure trading, but not data.  We kind of wanted to get the data before spending the time on it.

yuda Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks.  I was just looking at the list in QT, it's so much longer.  I thought I remembered that I had at one time used Scottrade with QT and sure enough it is on the list. They must have cooperated at that time, maybe they would again.  E*Trade and Schwab are there too, although I never used Schwab because it was never streaming.  I noticed Google is on your list. Google, on the web, shows real time quotes but not the bid ask, what does it show in MT?  I'm going to change the title of this thread, to make it interesting to others  By the way, I suggest pinning the list somewhere so that people know in advance whether MT would work with their source.

Jerry Medved Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 We had a lot longer to implement stuff in QT (12 years) and a lot of the sites were just snapshot quotes.  Scottrade never cooperated. We reverse engineered their datafeed back when we were with QT.  Then at some point they changed protocols. QT doesn't work with Scottrade either.  E*Trade - yes, that was reverse engineered too. Now though they have an API so really don't want to have to kludge it when they are supposed to get us the API.  but it has been an extremely long wait  Schwab - just snapshot quotes, so not really worth it at this time  Google - real-time quotes only have limited data - not enough for what MT needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbell78 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Jerry, I messaged with you about a month ago regarding support for Tradestation. I'm using the MT beta along with the free trial at Moneynet. Love the new MT. Any luck with tradestation? Don't like the idea of paying twice for the same data. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 @rbell78 I have it on our todo list, but it is not something we had a chance to deal with yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdrive Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Jerry, Any further update on possibility of implementing Schwab trading in MT? I recently acquired a Schwab retirement  account after using ameritrade exclusively for years in QT.  I would like the account to pull in the current stocks and shares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Nothing for the her there. If Schwab cooperates, will be glad  to implement it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disciple33 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm currently using TD Ameritrade for data and I'm happy with it. However, I would like to chart futures as well. Is there a way to use my IB account for futures charts only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 create a 2nd portfolio with just the futures symbols. Open a 2nd portfolio window with that 2nd portfolio selected and set IB as the quote source. NOTE: TWS must be running and you need to enable the API in the TWS settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
