IRT Features

Recommended Posts

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

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
