Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 In level II, I don't see any difference in selecting Price/Time or Price/Size. I wonder that Price/Time sort is really working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 it works, though doesn't get re-adjusted until new data comes in. you can see it by just adding the tie column Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 But the highest volume always on top like the Price/Size sorting, I compared with the QT level II and the order is different when sorting by Time. Try FCX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ok this is what I found now. If the symbol has only three letters, the Time sorting is NOT working., ex: FCX. WLT, SHO etc.... If the symbol has four letters the Time sort is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Which datafeed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ameritrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I noticed that the Time is updating for all entries at the same time, so in effect the Time sorting becomes useless. It happens only for THREE letter symbols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 you can't really compare to QT with TDA since QT didn't show time when TDA was the source. And the issue is not 3 letter symbols but rather NASDAQ vs Non-NASDAQ. MT shows the time but what is there depends on the symbol. TDA has different datafeeds for NASDAQ and others. For NASDAQ one time is returned on the individual entries. For Non-NASDAQ Data, MT just puts the time the data came in into that field.

Saty Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 However in QT, the order of induvidaul entries are sorting out when the Time is selected with the same Ameritrade feed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have no idea what it is sorting on in QT when TIME is selected for NYSE symbol. That data is simply not returned from the datafeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
