Sorry to disagree but I have to say this because it is plainly the opposite of what I see. Well we must be looking at different instruments or something. Are you referring to total volume or up vs...

Mike,

IB sends data out in packets, each packet contains the last price and the cumulative trade volume as at that point. I don't know exactly how frequent the updates are, but they are very very...

Mike,

Volume and range bars are absolutely fine with IB. I have compared them extensively with Tradestation, for example, and they are practically identical. Only tick bars are not available. I...

Thank you, but I just need a once-off backfill of daily OHLC values. I suppose I could download the ES tick data in the Elite forum, but again it is just daily OHLC that I need.

I used TradeStation intensively (8 hours a day) for 3 years then moved to MC. Never looked back for one moment.

I made the transition earlier this year after 3 years using TS. It was apparent within 1 or 2 days that there could be no going back. MC is all the (good) things that various people have claimed.

Thanks again for your comments, these are all very good points. For ES I am looking at $4 RT instead of $3.70 with Velocity, so just a bit more expensive. Are you including futures trading in your...

I think that indicators in TS and MC don't calculate intrabar on historical data, at least not on a tick-by-tick basis. Only strategies can do that, but then they can't plot data. However, you can...
