| Chas,
|
| This happens because of the well-known and well-forgotten bug in ts2k: it
| redraws a chart when the quote for one of the Electronic Futures has a
| non-zero Trade Volume.
|
| There are 3 ways to fix this:
|
| 1. Fool Global Server :-) In Dynastore portfolio editor, set "ITV" field
| (standing for "Ignore Trade Volume") to ON for all of your Electronic
| Futures. In this case, Dynastore will replace the actual trade size of the
| quote with zero. Of course, if you're using the trade volume in your
charts
| and/or analysis, this is not suitable solution.
|
| 2. Fool Global Server the other way :-)) You need to create your
Electronic
| Futures symbols in Global Server as Stocks or Indices. For example "ES U6"
| should be created as Stock (or Index) with CME set as an Exchange. Global
| Server will warn you that this is not correct name for this category, but
it
| will work after that.
|
| 3. Hack Global Server :-))) Follow this instruction (will require some
work
| with registry editor - regedit.exe):
|
| 3a. Shutdown all 2000i programs.
| 3b. Open "My Computer" and go to \(location of 2000i
| programs)\server\dbconline
| 3c. Double click on file ExchMan.txt - you will see
|
| ;DBC Online Exchange Manager
| 39
|
| 3d. Change the second line to
| 5,39
|
| 3e. Save the file
|
| 3f. Run regedit.exe
|
| 3g. Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Omega Research\Server\DBC
| SubServer.Signal" (not "Online!!!")
|
| 3h. Right-click at the right pane and add a String named
| "ExchangeManagerFile" (without quotation marks)
|
| 3i. Double-click at the new string named "ExchangeManagerFile" and type in
| the direct path to the file exchman.txt:
| c:\(location of 2000i programs)\server\dbconline\exchman.txt
|
| 3j. Start 2000i again and check if the redraw effect is gone.
|
| The 3rd way is prefferrable, as , togther with this flickering issue it
also
| reduces the CPU load by Global Server significantly.
|

|
| i have moved to the DTN iqfeed and have a small problem the data is
properly
| collected via dynastore and sent to Tradstaion
|
| ------- but as it arrives each tick generates a redraw of the chart
|
| i have had quotecom data via dynastore to TS2k for years with no problems,
| and if i switch back momentarily then no redraw problem.
|
| if anyone has encountered this problem, any ideas will be appreciated
