I have the patched version too.

BTW, switching to the static quotes seems to clear up the problem with wrong previous day quotes. Even if I switch back to streaming quotes.

One other thing that I've noticed - if I log on early (around 8:00 AM) and don't touch QuoteTracker, I usually have no problems. Sometimes I think that their servers have a certain number of slots and that getting on early keeps you on.

Don't know. I don't see any issue here when using TDA for the datafeed. Could be network issues specific to your ISP or firewall on your computer. If you have not changed anything on your PC, then the ISP would be more likely

The close price is a separate issue and actually not TDA. It seems that the fundamental data servers are returning bad data. QT gets fund data:
* on startup
* when a new symbol is added
* shortly after 9:30
* shortly after 9:50

if you just hit STOP, then START after you see the bad closing prices, that should clear it up

Jerry is it possible to decrease the refresh rate to less than 5 secs for the snapshot TD feed?

No. that limit is there to avoid abusing the servers. The snapshot stuff is not meant to replace streaming quotes.

I have been going crazy trying to update my QT to the 3.9.8a version.

I had QT 3.9.8 version running on Windows7 (64-bit, 8-core machine) when, just like the others, TDA backfill stopped working. I located the patch file by reading this forum, located at http://www65.zippyshare.com/v/77716919/file.html and downloaded the ZIP file.

I unzipped the file, copied all the extracted files into the Quotetracker directory, including overwriting existing files. However, when I start the program back up, it still shows 3.9.8 version (instead of 3.9.8a) and backfill still does not work. I have checked that the stocks.exe does get overwritten.

I have tried this process several times, but no luck. Just to make sure I was doing this right, I took a different computer on which I had never downloaded QT, installed the original version from quotetracker.com and then confirmed it was 3.9.8 version, then installed the patch and viola! it was the 3.9.8a version. But on my main computer, for the life of me I cannot get the same process to work.

Can you please confirm what the patched stocks.exe file size is? I have a stocks.exe file size of 8756KB with a timestamp of 7/18/11. This is exactly the file that I have been able to extract out of the zip file.

Thank you so much for your help!

-SS

Yes, that file is correct

you may be seeing Windows security at work

Create a temporary directory in your DOCUMENTS folder and extract the files to there. Then copy them from there to the QuoteTracker folder. You should get a security prompt on top of the usual confirmation.

Or as an alternative, move the Quotetracker folder outside of c:\Program Files (x86)

to C:\Quotetracker for example. If you do that, windows won't be playing its funky tricks to protect you
