Volume Data Missing

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have no idea what might be the problem here. I am sort of familiar with the IRT/MD software of which I was an avid user about 2 years ago. I have recently resigned up to re-evaluate its usefulness to me but am stuck getting it quote me all the data.

 

I'm only tracking two symbols, both are foreign futures markets (esignal symbology NI225 M9-OSM and NI225_M M9-OSM). Both have been 'setup' according the how to setup symbols video. Interestingly, when I have tried to set them up, the software is telling me they are invalid futures types. No idea why, I have setup the futures type for NI225 and NI225_M. Both the symbols are setup with the appropriate session start times relative to my current locale (GMT+12).

 

This all seems to work fine for historical data requests. I can chart these symbols, and backfill their tick data. I can even get real-time price quotes, but I get NO volume data. The T&S screens show zero for volume. The footprint charts show 0x0 on all the real-time ticks. I don't understand what is going on here. The .Futures quotepage shows the day volume accumulating for every tick.

 

Please see the attached screenshots.

 

My sincere thanks in advance for any insights provided.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Maybe the problem here is that IRT/MD does not have the necessary exchange available for Japanese products? The esignal exchange symbol for Osaka futures is OSM. The esignal exchange symbol for the Tokyo futures it TPX. Neither are available in the exchange dropdown of futures setup. I have tried the OSE.JPN exchange shown there but that made no difference either - looks more like an Interactive Brokers exchange.

This shows the correct symbol to use for the Osaka traded Nikkei mini and here is the error message I get back from the software. It just isn't recognizing this a futures symbol - how come? I have created a futures type of NI225_M.

 

It would be great to get this working. I can only test it out in real-time data.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
