    Can anyone tell me how to, or if, advances/declines, new highs/lows, Ticki, Trin, Vix can be entered into Quotetracker, using IB data. Updating my setup, and I can't figure out what I'm doing.

    Thanks,

  2. Gordo,

    1) we added IB as an index source in QT, so you can go to OPTIONS./WebUpdate, let QT update all files, then go to OPTIONS/Data sources menu and click on Indices tab and just select most of the above stuff from the built in list.

    for Advance/Decline, you would enter something like this:

    NASDAQ:$AD-NASD

    That is supposed to work, but doesn't on my account (doesn't in TWS either). If that symbol works on your account, then it should work as above in QT. NOTE: because of the way IB returns data for A/D, you will want to get the beta version of QT to chart the ratio:

    As for new highs/lows - don't have top 10 stuff in QT right now.
