Good morning Chad, does IRT have a market depth type of window graphically showing bid and ask at say 4 levels away from price? It's a feature I had in tradestation so just wondering if I have it now with IRT?

thanks

JJ

 

While Market Depth is not currently available in Investor/RT, it is on our short list. Look for it in the coming months.

Chad, is there a way to remove the open from an traditional bar? I just want HLC, not OHLC.

thanks

 

JJ,

 

We don't have a specific drawing style for "High Low Close". If you right-click in a chart and choose "type"...you'll see the different drawing styles available. What I did in the chart below, and this might work for you...I made the style "High Low Bars" and then added dots at the close (using a 1 period Moving Average on Close and drawing as dotted). You can import the definition below if you like.

Chad,

I am wondering why my charts on IRT do not match my esignal charts exact.

I have attached two pics . The curser is right at 8:40 on both charts and you will notice that the candles are not the same as far a range, open, and close. Both charts are exactly the same interval tick charts and they are both set to 24 hours. Should the candels not be exactly the same?

By the way they are both getting data from the same source so I dont think that's it.

stan - you would think so. ;)

 

This has nothing to do with IRT, but I have found that you can run charts side-by-side as you've done here with the same settings and get different results all the time... why? Hopefully Chad knows but I've heard everything from it's the data vendor, the exchange, your internet connection, the exchange's internet, the charting feed internet connection, etc. etc.

It's hard to tell specifically what's causing the difference in this case, as I don't know the logic & details behind the other program/chart, but there can be a few reasons. Since both charts are being fed by the same data feed, that rules out the fact that some data feeds package multiple trades together into one tick, while others don't.

 

With tick-based (tikcbars), volume-based (volume bars), or price range-based (range bars) periodicities, the formation of the bars is highly on the date/time where the bars begin. Investor/RT has an option for "Continuous Tick & Volume Bars" in setup: prefs: charts: general window. When checked, tickbars can cross session boundaries. When unchecked, tickbars will begin fresh at the beginning of each session. If using the former, the view period of the chart determines where the bars begin. If using the later, the bars always begin at the start of session. And in turn, you can setup your charts on the day session (sess 2) or the globex sess (sess 2).

 

Regardless, the underlying data is the same, but when you change the starting point of when you begin packaging that data into groups of ticks....then the bars will form differently. Hope that makes sense.

Slowly picking up the full functionality of IRT. I also use CQG but IRT has most of the features available at tremendously lower costs.

 

Heres a snapshot of my charts to show what IRT can do for you. Pretty neat. The horizontal lines are automatic mp levels.

Hi Chad,

 

If I already have a datafeed that isn't compatible with investor/rt, but I can export the database into a text file, is it possible to use this data? I think the backfill service is great, but it just seems a bit needless if I already have the data...

Yes. As long as you can export the data to a text file or csv file, you can import it into Investor/RT. That includes tick data, daily data, monthly data, etc. You can even schedule periodic imports of data from specific files if needed.

 

To import data, choose "file: import: data". Once import window appears, hit the F1 key for help on importing.

 

Chad

      Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
