ydfah Posted May 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thanks, got it to work but it won't backfill using TDA or Yahoo. Can it be backfilled or do I just have to wait and let the data accumulate over time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 actually, might have been wrong. AMTD may not support it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydfah Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 AMTD supports the @VX quote, it's just the backfill I can't get to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 weird. When I checked first time (at the time I initially replied) it worked. Then at night, it didn't work at all. Now working again. Seems that they do not store the data. Will report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 the backfill request returns not authorized error. I reported it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 actually, you are not supposed to be getting data on that and data being returned was an error. It will be turned off for that symbol (TD Ameritrade datafeed does not support CBOE futures ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydfah Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 It's working just fine for me except the backfill, so what say we just leave it be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydfah Posted January 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Have you changed your spike filter setting or are they at the defaults? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 not sure how @ydfah has @VX working with TD Ameritrade because they explicitly do not provide the quotes on that one - CBOE/CFE Futures quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get IB's but it is delayed because I do not subscribe to CFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydfah Posted January 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I don't know, Jerry said I'm not supposed to be getting a @VX quote because TDA doesn't offer it. His notable absences from this thread leads me to believe he's looking into it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 @ydfah may be a special case, but in general, ameritrade accounts are not supposed to get quotes on that symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L W Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I get @VX also. It does not backfill, but does work while MT is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
