Re: [amibroker] Re: Anyone has strange volume readings from May with DTN IQ?, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Hi Tomasz,

We have been there before and you said that using QCollector could be a good way to stock the data. We have already talked about some problems with DTN IQ Feed and that sometimes there was holes in the data, hence it was useful to use a third-party like QCollector.

But my questions is still this: I used QCollector with the same settings to get ALL of the data. Why suddenly a problem in May and not before?

Thanks,

Louis

Hello,

Nothing like that exists if you use IQFeed DIRECTLY

http://www.amibroker.com/video/IQFeed.html

You are just making things more complicated going iqfeed->qcollector->metastock->ab way.

You or QCollector may have changed volume scaling. Check

File->Database Settings->Configure

or check QCollector settings.

Maybe it has something to do with using QCollector to change the data into Metastock format and then using this into AB?

It is VERY strange. Each and every of my tickers show volume about 1000 times higher than normal on May 6 and May 7 and about 100 times higher after that.
