Re: DTN IQFeed/Dynastore history download working? Not for me!

John,

I hope that cures your problem too.  It was very frustrating having 
those kind of troubles.

Software vendors never want you to remove their programs off your 
computer - they are afraid you might realize you're better off without 
it! :)

Best Regards,

Mike,

I did what you suggested and it seems to have worked, at least for now.
Funny that DB never made this suggestion, but he seems to have cut back on
support in recent months.

Thanks,

John

John,

I have no trouble with the history download.  Just yesterday (Sunday), I
downloaded history data for the e-mini Russell 2000 without incident.


What


symbols are you using?  Dynastore has trouble w/some symbols like YM & the
EUREX futures which Globalserver appends -DT (ex: DB H4-DT) to the symbol
name.   I almost exclusively use futures and only have issues with the


EUREX


symbols for history downloads.  (What's the -DT for anyway?)

Be sure you are on the latest version.  In previous releases I would have
trouble with disconnects and the no data on weekend trouble you mention.
Back up your portfolio first, then after trading hours, I suggest
uninstalling both Dynastore & the IQFeed client (2 seperate entries in the
Control Panel), deleting the remnants of the Dynastore & IQFeed directory
structure, then reinstalling the latest version of Dynastore which will
contain the most current release of the IQFeed client.  Copy your


portfolio


backup file over & see if this makes a difference.

Best Regards,
Mike

For several weeks I haven't been able to use history download more than


once


a day (the second time it hangs up for hours in "ready for omz".)  On
weekends I often get the message "history download is unavailable".  And
today, during market hours I'm getting the same "history download is
unavailable" message, at least 5 times so far.

I checked with DTN support and they say history download is working fine.
They also tell me that it always works on weekends.

Is anyone else using this combination (DTN IQFeed/Dynastore/TS2000i) and
having better luck.  Please let me know. I suspect the problem is with the
Dynastore software but I'd like to know if I'm the only one with this
problem.

John
