Sogdo, Get some drinks. Find good hookers. Get laid. Let your juicy anger out. Sober up. Rethink what you wrote here. And then shut up. I am tired of this guy.
I just signed up for the multi-charts 30day trial. I am using IB for real time data feed. I have managed to get a chart of the ESM8 up, but I can't get a back-fill on historical data. Does anyone out there know how I cen get historical data on a 1 minute bar basis to fill in? only a little frustrated
note edit: To get backfill data, go to File --> Preferences..., Data Server Mode --> check the box for "Download missing historical data". Look at the top of the chart, after the symbol, it should say "Backfilling...". IB is a bit slow on backfills. Don't get upset on MC. tips: on setting up the chart, don't request too many Days Back on first try. Start with 5 days, that's plenty for a 1m chart.
Also go to File, Preferences, Data Server Mode tab and make sure Download missing historical data is checked.
I switched to only 5 days of data, no change. I will make sure file data preferences etc is checked , but believe me, I am pretty sure it is. I've been screwing with the thing for about 40 minutes running in and out of ALL the menus. I have Trade Station on a different machine. If I exported tradeStation data into an ascii and then tried to import it would that work?
