I downloaded some qt updates and it put hundreds of icons on my desktop. If I tried to delete more than one at a time using ctrl button it would create copies so I had to delete them one at a time. Took me over an hour. Whats up with that? This happened once before but not so bad as this time. Wont make that mistake again.
I used the old medved but when my paid license was obsoleted I stopped. I have used Sierra for a while and find the following things good: 1) rock solid reliability 2) good range of standard functionalility 3) great dll interface which answers some of Roberk's issues on the prev page. Note that these are on a Woodies Club site so some members here could not bring themselves to use them. a) i rewrote the sierra pivots so that they use one chart and default to whole day but u can set market start and end. Does all pivots out to 4 and optionally woodies or standard pivots. Also optionally warns you if the pivot gets close to the price. b) i did an overlay for sierra that lets you add choose to use a close or average price line. you might be able to do that with the standard functionality ?? c) also did a function that lets you add user defined proportions of other indexes which some woodies club members use to create a dollar index for ib. d) and because folk at woodies club like to trade without price but consider the angle of the lsma and ema34 to be important filters I did and interesting one which creates an angle box showing the angle of the two lines in it. 4) Recently mg has written a dll that lets you do both tick and constant volume charts in Sierra. Basically its a good dll interface with a fast compiled language so you have great flexibility. If you like andrews babson lines and other channels then Sierra is a real pain so I wouldnt bother ... perhaps ensign or, if it does it well, quotetracker. Also at present you cant put text on the chart from the dll. Kiwi PS. Despite my tease for the anti-woodie team this stuff is actually freely available for any sierra users.
I use Jerry's QT for old fashion profitable trading lately. Low cost and perfect enough to make money.
You installed the software into the desktop directory. Of course that will happen! That would happen if you installed any software into the desktop directory. Uninstall it, then install it into the proper folder: C:\Program Files\QuoteTracker And just in case you are downloading a zip file - don't. Get the install from http://www.quotetracker.com/download
Yeah. I feel kind of silly. I do not usually download those updates but I was in a hurry for some reason and clicked the button. I will say one thing. You have the prettiest charts.
I've had a few occasions when it doesn't back fill , usually no problem though. I just figured prophet website was down . http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=21259&u=zoom1&a=zoom1 charts&id=874
j_medved, I just dled QT. I'ved used it a while back. Now, I'm trying it again. Anyhow, can QT get historical DAILY chart of the e-minis? I know it can do the intraday chart. I can't seem to get the daily chart as well. I'm using IB to power the quotes. So, I guess it's no? hehe
sure. Bring up the historical chart on any symbol, then just enter ESM4 as the symbol in the yellow symbol field on the historical chart and hit enter
thanks! it didn't work b4 cuz i click on the full symbol where it had the globexesm4. BTW, how come i don't get any quotes for yen and euro?? I put globexjpym4 and globexeurm4. i get those quotes on my IB TWS though. Hmm... Also, can QT backfill intraday for the eminis? Because when I go to the backfill data proxy, it didn't have IB. Does this mean i have to 1) get eSignal 2) start QT early enough during the day before the open to have a full chart of the day? Also, can you do multiple time frame charts? Like a 1min and 5min on the same symbol?? thanks!
