Re: [RT] Charting with IB - TahoeCharts

Hi Earl,
 
The only product I've found is SCMagic.com.  They 
collect IB tick data for the futures that are tradeable through IB as well as 
indexes and some European stocks and indexes.  As far as I know it only 
works with Sierra Charts.  I've been working with Sierra charts for the 
last couple weeks and find it difficult to use but it's the only tool I've found 
that has an IB data backfill capability.  
 
Ensign and QuoteTracker both access IB tick data but, 
based on their email responses,  neither plans to enable access to SCMagic 
for backfill.  They told me to subscribe to eSignal or IQFeed or some other 
realtime data service for backfill.  If I wanted to pay for those services 
I wouldn't be looking for a product that uses IB's data feed.  

 
That's where I am so far.  Hope it 
helps.
 
Chuck

    Hi Earl,
     
    I downloaded QuoteTracker today and used it with IB's 
    data.  The only difficulty I had was deciphering IB's ticker symbols 
    for futures.  However, the QuoteTracker Help page has a section 
    explaining how to construct IB's futures tick symbols for 
    QuoteTracker.  Once everything was 'defined' properly it worked rather 
    well.
     
    Good Luck.
    Chuck

      QuoteTracker does not work with IB's data. I have looked briefly at 
      Sierra charts which uses the IB feed and the related intraday infill 
      package. I have not, however, had time to evaluate it.

        This is far better from what I read on the 
        tahoe site.
         
        <A 
        href="">http://www.medved.net/quotetracker/
         
        Various brokers feeds, 60 bucks a 
        year, 10 day charts with up to 5 day backfill at some data feed 
        sites.  Just don't use their beta versions if you want to trade and 
        not fix it constantly.

          The signup screen for "Tahoe Charts, supporting various datafeeds 
          (Beta)" brings up an eSignal signup screen. Also no information on the 
          seamless back fill on charts which you mention.
