My question regards to the IB market data abo. I subscribed to "Us Securities Snapshot and Future Value Bundle" and "US Equitiy and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle". Do i get also the E-Mini realtime streaming data with these subscription or do i have to subscribe to „CBOE One Add-On Bundle“?
When typing the E-mini future symbols i do get the streaming data in realtime. Is that included with my recent subscription?
What is the difference between the market depth data and Level 2 data? You can subscribe those additionally.
Why are you using iQFeed when having CQG in your AMP account? I mean IQ is rather expensive. Would it be possible to use CQG for IB? I guess you must have MW pro and being connected to both brokers simultaneously.
Hello Scotty,
did you post on the MWforum about using CQG for IB? This helped me very much. But I guess you have to buy the pro edition of MW. I have still the Orderflow edition.
Anyone here using OrderFlowAnalytics (OFA) with MotiveWave? I saw a mention of OFA in a help video by Tradovate (my broker). Looks like Tradovate worked with OFA at one time but not now(?). That prompted me to look at MotiveWave because the OFA website lists only MW and NT as preferred vendors. Anyhoo, I’ve only spent about 15 minutes in MotiveWave, but I really like what I see so far—and that I can run it on my Mac.
I can’t find many references to OFA when googling that aren’t four years old or more. OFA’s Facebook page show the latest comment at three years.
So I’m wondering if any current users of MotiveWave are using OFA and if OFA is worth paying for along with MW.
So is there a way in MotiveWave to move the whole chart up and down vertically? In Ninja I just hold down the control key while dragging in the price axis. That doesn't seem to work in Motive.
Sure, you can just drag it up and down. Probably the reason why your chart does not move is because you have this botton selected, see the picture below.
Just un-select it and you will be able to move it up and down.
The following user says Thank You to SBtrader82 for this post:
you select align letters and it all gets messed up with the previous TPO profiles.
Letters are never visible unless you zoom in so much that you lose the perspective.
In the second picture you can observe that if you "shrink" the chart on the x axis the profiles overlaps toghether, basically the software developers didn't even take into account that this should not happen. How naive is that? consider that you need to pay 45 USD per month to have the market profile.
I am really fed up with this platform, they always release new version in which they improve nothing. The only improvement they make is on small details, but major problems never get fixed.
If you sent an email they answer after 2 days at least and they don't even understand your question.
I am surprised as i have read that the new platform EdgeProx from EdgeClear is based on MotiveWave. I am sure, they would not invest in it if it was not that good. But i may be misinformed about it. I took this info from this thread:
This is a good deal, you basically get Motivewave orderflow (not sure if they have added anything) package for $35 a month vs 55 straight from the vendor. Plus you get a good broker and great customer support.
The product is not bad, it's stable. Compared to tradestation is very stable.
But you cannot release a new version every ten days and leave problems unsolved.
I cannot understand what the developers work on everyday.
I've been using Motivewave for about 6 months and it is now my daily driver. I like a lot about it, but I am not a volume profile trader. of course we all want something different, but I like it.
I should mention that I had been a long-term Sierra Chart user, and love that platform, but the "crazy" over there drove me away.
The following user says Thank You to COoneguy for this post:
do you also get the "TIME OVER" message? I get it all the time and I can't understand if this is due to problems with how motivewave interface with Rithmic.
If I have a position with more than one contract and some OCO orders, if I hit the "flatten" button I get an error saying "timeout", and the position doesn't get flattened. It only cancels the OCO but it does not flat my position. So whenever I am in this situation I have to first cancel all order and then flatten.
With the reverse button it's even worse.
I don't use TPO, I prefer the VP, but doesn't TPO has a setting considering the width of the TPO ? Probably the boxes have a minimum width size.
Have you tried posting it on their forums ?
About the 45USD, motivewave does several 25% and 30% discounts through the year. Next one should be in summer/july. Also considering the option to buy lifetime in those discount times, it is great value.
The rest of the rant actually is uncalled for. You must think that a big platform is easy to maintain and that every change doesn't need to undergo several rigorous testing.
As a programmer, its not like we snap our fingers, drag and drop pictures and a platform is made.
I conected Motivewave with Tradestation but the DOM was not showing prices(level 2 data), I know Tradestation provides that data because it works with Tradingview.
I added Rithmic data trial and price showed up on DOM but I am unable to execute trades(it says this is untradable ticker?). I was attempting to trade MESM1 micro mini ES.
I've been using MW for 4 months. Overall I'm pretty happy with the Order flow edition.
I like how I can attach and detach bracket orders whenever I want.
There is some puzzling behaviour though.
Unable to show p&l in ticks on both chart ladder and chart trader. This is somewhat available on the ultimate edition but doesn't work properly for shorts.
Email alerts is ok, since it shows a screenshot, but a plugin to use Telegram would be better.
Trend lines and channels need to anchor to a point on tick charts otherwise they start moving.
Constant need to load more data if I scroll back just a bit too much on tick charts.
Looking on LinkedIn they appear to be a 3 person shop, probably under 10. Would explain the speed of bugfixes and updates.
MotiveWave Ultimate (2295USD) +295USD annually will worth the money? The Multicharts v14 and Multicharts .Net(likewise NT8 is about 1,649USD) are each about 1,997USD lifetime licenses and no upcoming annual costs? Will this Multicharts Ultimate will worth this 2295USD one-off purchase +295USD annual cost?
May you please share their experience with MotiveWave Ultimate with me and tell me if the price will worth the money? How is Java SDK development, will it straight forward development and stable in execution performance?
