Need some assistance using IB's TWS with Quotetracker

Discussion in 'Trading Software' started by gurucandidate, Dec 17, 2008.

  1. Currently I am using IB's Booktrader and charts in Medved Quotetracker to scalp. I like them both but the breadth indicators I follow I have plotted in Tradestation.

    To simplify my setup I would like to cut out Tradestation and plot NYSE TICK, NSDQ TICK, NYSE AD and TOT US VOL
    in QT.

    The instructions for entering NYSE:$TICK symbol in QT with the IB data feed, for example, does not seem to work.

    If anyone new the exact symbols please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

  2. Here is what to use for IB symbols in QT:

    NYSE:$TICK-NYSE
    NASDAQ:$TICK-NASD
    NYSE:$AD-NYSE
    NASDAQ:$AD-NASD
    NYSE:$TRIN-NYSE
    NASDAQ:$TRIN-NASD

    Note that the AD symbols show data only through the API (used by QT) and not in TWS.
