Kasper Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 When a portfolio source is Yahoo Finance, a refresh frequency value can be set, for example, 300 seconds in screenshot below. I assume this means that MT will fetch data every 5 minutes, however I see quotes update almost like real time. Can you clarify correct use of it? To be clear, this portfolio have symbols that generally don't exist on other portfolio using Webull data source. Also, can this refresh frequency be set for other data sources as well?

Mike Medved Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 If it is set to 300 and the symbols are only present in this portfolio, it should refresh every 5 min, yes. The reason why this is not done for other sources is that Yahoo is a "snapshot" source, while others are streaming sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted November 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Is it possible to add refresh timer for any other data feed and use it as snapshot? In some cases, streaming quotes may not be needed. I am not sure if it is possible to trigger get fresh quote from advanced scan code.
