Thanks for the replies everyone--I will continue to use NT for my needs then, as it will save me $80 a month in data from IQFeed and $40 difference between NT and multicharts. My only cost will then be the $60 per month fee for NT.

Can I use MultiCharts to place trades through Velocity? MC is not listed on Velocity's web site but MC can use TT feeds, so I'm curious.

Good deal. If you are looking for another charting option, Sierra Chart would be the way to go. Free backfill with TT and also the least expensive of the three by a good margin, including totally free for Velocity customers. You can also get it free from Optimus Futures.

Downloaded the new MC7 beta but having trouble getting the DOM to work with TT.

I just get 'waiting for data'. I verified all the info, it seems correct, the lookup database works, it connects correctly...

Anyone care to share working settings? @syscot1?

Mike

I downloaded the MCDT and couldn't get it to connect to Velocity. Did you have to enter port, clearing account, and FFT2 or are those left blank? Thanks.

Alright, well -- second question. Can't solve the price scale. As is on 6E is formatted like "14,280" instead of "1.4280". I tried copying settings from DTN which work perfect on my charts, but can't make it work with TT feed.

Anyone have working QM settings for proper decimal position on 6E with TT? I know TT sends as integers only, so maybe this is an Mutlicharts bug as if it is TT compatible there should be a workaround.

Mike:
I have asked Multi this very question about proper price format for TT and they told me that it was the way TT was sending the data....in whole numbers. When I contacted TT, they told me that they have no decimals in their price quotes. The only solution Multi offered was to change the global setting on your PC for the currency format settings. NOT a pratical solution most obviously. If you use any other data feed that has the right price format and you make the global change to satisfy TT...the other data would be wrong.

I have had other issues with TT on Multi with corrupt data on my charts. Mutli said they are working on fixing the problem, so we'll see how it goes.

Hope that helps!

For anyone who uses Multicharts through Velocity Futures and IQFeed for their historical data, do you get the CME fees waived? For IQFeed it was about $85 per month for most CME data, but I think when I asked Velocity they said to get the CME fees waived, I had to use Ninja. Not sure why since the CME site lists MultiCharts and Velocity futures are compatible brokers for this program.

My NT lease is almost up and the fact that my rectangle objects drawn for support/res areas disappear randomly is killing me, this is a known bug, but they are too lazy to fix it. If I can get set up with multicharts DT since I don't use any custom indicators or need strategy/automation, I will switch before week's end. But paying $200+ for data when I was getting it for $85 sounds a little steep.

Sierrachart has a feature extend hight light rectangle, you click a high and a low point and SC will extend the hight light between those 2 points forever to the right.

Thank you sysot, this is the site I was referencing in my post--I'd like someone who actually has this setup to confirm though, as I mentioned that Velocity told me I had to use NT to have the fees waived.

as per the IQF site..

All,

I could have swore I read that you can combine IQ with the TT feed so I have backfill.. Is this true or am I imagining things? I didn't see this option anywhere on the QM or the platform.

Thanks
