trading thru IB using Medved QT

Ram:

Click on Options, then Data sources tab, then indices then select quote.com and check off what you want.

 

what is backfill?

 

Thanks for the tip. My data provider is IB. I tried selecting Quote.com but it appears I need a paid subscription for real-time data. Also when I changed the data source, my IB quotes stopped (on QT). It would be nice if I could get all of them working at the same time. According to Jerry Medved in an earlier post, I should be able to get indices without losing my futures data.

 

Ram, if you do not see a white strip with indices on it (or gray if you don't have any symbols selected) you should have an Indices tab on the top right below the menu. Click on it to open the index panel. Once you have done so, right click on it and select Edit Indices.

Please note: Right now our primary site is down due to an issue with our hosting company. The mirror site works if you need anything:

Support email that can be used is: support@medved.net

 

OK, thanks Jerry. I got it now.

 

Ram,

On the menu, choose 'view', then 'indices', then either 'brief view' or 'extended view'

Backfill is a way to get history from the data providors server.
