    Is anyone trading the Euro (6E) or other currency futures using QuoteTracker and DTN/IQ feed and CONSTANT VOLUME BARS?

    I have some problems with printing the bars (see attachment).
    QuoteTracker says it's a problem with the feed, IQ says it's the inability of the charting software...
    Strange is, that i don't have this problem with NQ or ES...

    Attached is a dump of the data in our server. Please look it over for the time in question to determine if the data is causing your flatline. You should be able to clear your QT data and reload from our server.

    False volume spike, causing QT to print multiple false bars. For example, you have specified 100 share bars, you get a false volume spike of 1000 from data vendor, you'll see 10 bars in a straight line.

    You can adjust the volume spike filter in QT, look under preference.

    thanx schaefer, this could solve the problem...
    default is 4. Is my understanding correct, that this would cap the volume to 4x the average volume per bar? so I have to try a lower number...
