BSAM, we have no problems reported with charting and I have 1 and 3 minute charts in front of me - no problem. Please send me a picture of what you are referring to and the CHARTS.INI file.
I just backfilled MSFT and ORCL for the heck of it using IB's backfill and I did get some pretty weird "spikes" on the 1-min (yes, I had my spike filter on Jerry) but didn't have any gaps. Hmm... That's strange. I get the same "spikes" on the 1-min using IQFeed backfill in the same place where I was getting them using IB's backfill. What are the odds of that happening?... (I am not using the "B" version though)...
Man-O-Man I wish I knew how to post a chart here. But, being the computer dummy that I am, I don't. All I can say is, on a 2-day 1-minute chart on highly liquid symbols, there are gaps all over the place, until I zoom in on a particular section. Then, it looks normal. This morning, the 3 minute charts are back to normal. Maybe tomorrow the 1 minute charts will be okay. Weird.
hmm my yhoo charts aren't backfilling on auto either unless i do it manually and the spikes on some of the charts are a pain and ruin other studies that i have on them.
Guys, Thats like saying "my car doesn't work right" to a machanic, without him seeing the car and without giving further details Please send the details to support@quotetracker.com Include a picture of the chart in the email as well as: QT version (exact version, not "Latest") Main quote source used Backfill source used CHARTS.INI file from QT folder
Rather than doing the typical reply to a review with another review I thought I would comment on this review here: http://www.elitetrader.com/so/?action=view&SR_ProductID=33 While I agree at first the software may not be the most intuitive thing I've ever used (and my desire not to read the manual I'm sure didnt help), this review seems overly harsh considering the price. I don't see how anyone can give free software a "Worth the money" rating of 2. I wonder if this is the case where Sarah just wasnt willing to spend enough time to get familiar with QT.
1) how more intuative or self explanatory can double click to get the chart be? or right click? 2) the 2nd link on the very first screen you see in the help file is for intraday charts. The very first paragraph tells you EXACTLY how to open a chart, so there goes that comment
Yes, giving QT 30-min and expecting to be able to know/use all it's features is like trying to learn Geometry in High School in 30-min. I've been using QT since the last century so I know it pretty well. Whatever you put into QT in time you will get out of it in usability. (Good thing she didn't even take the time to try using the Paint bars, it would of blown her mind completely)...
Yea, even my rebuttal probably wasnt fair to you. I just vaguely remember not being able to immediately figure out some things the first few times I used it (can't remember what) Once I did figure it out (without bothering to read the help) I found it quite intuitive. Sometime's you just have to get on the same wavelength as the developer with software. Hope you didnt take my comments the wrong way, I love QT! Edit: BTW, I PM'd SarahG this thread link so she could have a chance to respond, I hope she shows up.
