makincash Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi Jerry, Mkt Cap and Avg Vol are not populating from the Stockwatch source feed in the watch list. If I flip the watch list source over to Questrade they populate immediately. I did try clearing data but they never populate with Stockwatch.

makincash Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi Jerry, I was reaching out to Stockwatch about another issue around missing premarket data (which btw they said was broken and is now fixed), and asked about the Avg Vol and Mkt cap data in the API feed. They indicated "The API can provide shares issued as well as historical volumes, so MedVed should be able to calculate AvgVol and MktCap". Is it feasible to utilize the other data to have Medved populate Mktcap and AvgVol? I do see shares outstanding populating in MedVed when I add that column. Cheers, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 First of, MT does fill in Market Cap column for Stockwatch (I just checked). As for Avg Volume, compute it from what? MT does automatically compute and set that value when you open a Historical chart (when you do Hist Backfill actually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 When I do a clear data with Questrade the MktCap & AvgVol repopulated immediately as the data begin to reload. I tried what you said and loaded a historical chart and it did populate AvgVol on my watch list using Stockwatch. So It looks like AvgVol with Stockwatch only populates when you load a historical chart. With the Questrade API as soon as I clear data all stocks in the Watchlist reload and have the AvgVol populated. I captured a backup with quote data yesterday (Friday)related to ShOutst and Mktcap. I will send an email with the link. No idea if the regular logging level in it is useful with what occurred over the time periods. Watch list: Main 10:15 cleared 10:30 Mktcap, shareoutst, avgvol not populated , ran backfill none populated 10:56 historical backfil AvgVol populated 11:29 noticed MktCap and Shareout finally populated Watch list: Lithium 11:05 clear and backfill and historical backfil AvgVol populated 11:29 ShOutst and Mktcap still not populated 13:55 ShOutst and mktcap were populated Cheers, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 As I said before - Stockwatch does not provide average volume and MT does calculate it (regardless of datafeed) when you do a Hist backfill, which also automatically happens when you open a historical chart. Questrade does have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
