Transact Data

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I´m interested in Transact data, anyone use Transact data feed in Tradestation+Owndata?

 

thank you in advance

Mikeshwarz

 

Hi Mike,

 

I use the Infinity AT platform which uses the Transact data (free), and I use MarketDelta charts. Not sure if you trade live or not, but Infinity offers free 30 day demo. Sign up here thru my broker Tom Duffy and receive a special commission rate: Infinity Futures

Thank you for yours answers, but I prefer use Tradestation because I have some indicators and strategies who not function well with Multicharts. My problem is setup Transact in Owndata, is a require field to put the "server name" and I don´t know what is. Can someone help me?

 

Thank you

Hi trader273,

 

I try with TAMS, but Owndata seems that want to connect and minutes later said "Timout Do you want to retry?" This is weird because in Multicharts perfectly works.

If someone use this can help me with the correct setup?... Please

 

Thank you

Hi TLA,

 

Sorry you had a problem with the platform. What exactly was the issue with the datafeed and what time were you trying to "trade" on Sunday?

 

Were you using a demo or trading live?

 

I personally have over a hundred customers trading daily on AT with no problems, and our firm has many times that. Before you flame the platform why don't you ask for help? Maybe we can fix the problem for you.

 

Best regards,

I was using Transact Infinity AT. This datafeed was a disaster. Good luck if want to trade on Sunday.

 

TLA,

 

Your comments on this forum lead me to believe that you don't good data from bad data. And why in the world would you want to trade on Sunday. Trading on Sunday is for suckers.

 

Regards,

TraderJean,

 

Your remark seems to be missing a word or two. The data from Infinity was missing a few ticks or two. I suppose that's not important to you. Different strokes for different folks.

I prefer charts and sentences with complete data. I make decisions based on data. My experience has shown that Infinity was flawed in this area. I could go into further detail here, but I feel that in a forum where people can freely express their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with a service - I believe a "thumbs down" is all that is necessary. Perhaps they will improve in this area. For their customers' sake, I hope they do.

TLA,

 

Again I would like to say I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the demo and if I knew the details of your situation I would try to help. I did PM you for details of your problem but you did not respond.

 

The demo might have been down on Sunday I don't know. I know the live platform was up because I have live customers who traded Sunday. I've been with Infinity for 4 years and have never seen a live platform outage of that type. The demo does not have the same degree of infrastructure commitment the live platform does. The AT simulator is meant to mimic the live platform not exactly duplicate it.

 

Reading a couple of the other posts on this thread I would just like to say this. I have never been critical of any other firm, data vendor or broker. I try to let the Infinity AT product and my support & service speak for itself. There are a few live traders on this forum who have expressed positive views of Infinity AT. They should also be free to express their opinions without ridicule.

 

TLA you are fairly recent to this forum and you don't know me very well, so I'll let most of what you say go without comment other than to say that there were no complaints filed at the NFA or any other regulatory agency about the alleged complaint and any assertion to the contrary is without merit. You can see for yourself at National Futures Association - NFA is a regulatory service provider for the derivatives markets

 

 

Now I also know that message boards and forums are places where people are free to express their opinions and even rant a little if they want. So keep it up! I enjoy reading your posts and learning from you all.

 

 

My purpose here is to assist anyone who needs help with the Infinity AT platform. If you need help let me know and I will try my best to help. I think most here know I mean that sincerely.

 

 

 

Tom

TLA,

 

Funny post, yea i skipped a word. Glad you were able to fill in the blank.

 

I would rather play nice than bitch back and forth with you. I really don't see the flaw in the AT data maybe because I'm on the live platform instead of the demo and I use DTN for backfill or maybe using MarketDelta charts instead of Sierra makes a difference. I don't really know.

 

You gave your 2 cents and I gave mine. Lets move on. :)

 

Best regards,

 

TraderJean

    • Date: 21st March 2025.   Gold is Up 14% in 2025 But Has It Peaked?   Gold prices fell on Thursday for the first time this week after reaching a new all-time high. The asset’s safe-haven status drives its bullish trend as the White House confirms new tariffs on April 2nd. On the other hand, the decline, which continues this morning potentially is due to fears the price is overbought or at its peak. Why Is Gold Increasing in Value? The main bullish price driver for Gold is the risk appetite of the market due to fears of a recession. Even the White House acknowledges a short-term downturn, though the administration calls it a ‘transitional period’. A potential recession has also been mentioned by economists including the previous Treasury Secretary, Lawrence Summers, who advises the chances of a recession in 2025 is around 50%. The possibility of a recession due to the new trade policy is not only driving the price of Gold but also bond yields and the stock market. The SNP500 has fallen almost 11% over the past 4-weeks. The risk appetite of the market can be seen through the poor performance of the stock market. Furthermore, the VIX index has fallen almost 11% while demand for bonds has risen. In addition to this, the Federal Reserve made it clear that there is no clear sign yet that the economy will not experience a recession but does expect lower economic growth. The Federal Reserve reduced its projections for the US GDP Growth Rates. The Chairman of the Federal Reserve told journalists that the central bank will continue its wait-and-see approach due to the uncertainties of the trade policy. The Federal Reserve will opt for a reactive approach rather than a proactive approach which may unnecessarily push inflation higher. Trade Tariffs on April 2nd Donald Trump imposed 20% tariffs on all Chinese imports, along with 25% duties on goods from Canada and Mexico. He also enforced 25% sanctions on imported steel and aluminium, prompting retaliatory measures. Meanwhile, unemployment rose to 4.1%, retail sales by only 0.2%, and business activity remained sluggish. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned of a potential US recession, and experts suggest that if the trend continues, the Federal Reserve may adopt a more ‘dovish’ stance, pressuring the US dollar. At 20:00 (GMT+2) today, investors await the regulator’s meeting results and a new dot chart forecasting interest rate cuts. Any signal of borrowing cost adjustments could drive XAU/USD prices upward. XAUUSD (Gold) - Technical Analysis The price of XAUUSD this morning during the Asian Session fell, forming a lower swing low for the first time since March 10th. The question which most traders are now asking is whether the price will now continue retracing downwards. Currently, the price in the medium term remains above the 75-EMA and above the 100-SMA which indicates the price still maintains its bullish bias.     However, the price below the VWAP and order flow shows that so far sell orders outnumber buy orders. Therefore, due to the mixed signals, the volatility in the short term will be vital for technical analysts. For example, if the price falls to $3,026, 65% of the retracement has regained downward momentum potentially indicating a downward trend in the short term. Alternatively, at $3,027.90 the instrument will form a bearish breakout which again potentially indicates downward momentum. However, if the price increases above $3,034.17, a bullish breakout would have formed and the price will be again trading above the main Moving Average. Key Takeaway Points: Gold prices surged to an all-time high before dropping, possibly due to overbought concerns. Economic uncertainty and trade policies fuel demand for gold, bonds, and a declining stock market. The Federal Reserve acknowledges economic slowdown risks but remains reactive rather than proactive. The US plans tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico, contributing to market volatility and economic concerns. Always trade with strict risk management.
