Tradestation Newbie Questions...

Recommended Posts

Hello all...

New to the forum and think it's great! World of useful info in here! just loaded up Tradestation 8.2... couple of newbie questions...

 

1) Is 8.1 more reliable or was I better to download the newest version?

 

2) Is there a test that will let me know if some of the data feeds are lagging?

 

3) I have noticed that my most recent TICK & TRIN chart data (1 minute chart) does not line up with my most recent price data (2 minute chart). If I place the workplace tracking pointer on the most recent tick or trin data, it lines up with the price data from 8 to 10 bars ago. Even if I use a 233 tick chart for price, the most recent tick & trin data lines up with price data from six bars ago. The times also are off... the most recent tick data is from 13:14 while the most recent price data is 13:33 (real time). Any suggestions? Looked through Tradestation forums and couldn't find anything initially... will be back in there tonight...

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Ive been using TS for about a year now, and I love it. Very reliable and very good pricing. Ive been using 8.2 for a while now and I haven't had any problems with it. They roll out new versions slowly ( eg, people with acct #'s 1-100 are first, then say 1 or 2 weeks later 101-200, etc--this is just a crude example I'm really not sure how they decided who gets to the new version.) The point is that there are people before you who have had the platform and hopefully by the time it gets to you most of the bugs have been worked out. Eventually, you'll be forced to upgrade to stay compatible with their servers. So I would, and have, use the newest version.

 

Cant help you with the other questions since I dont use that stuff.

Hey Robert & t273...

Thanks for the help... after checking all of my feeds, connection, settings, etc... it turns out the NYSE didn't get my extra $1 for real time quotes so the "free" data was 15 minutes delayed... lucky for me, I lifted the sofa cushions and found enough for both the real time data and taco bell... Thanks!

Hi Bocatrader,

 

I am also a TS user. You'll really start loving it once you figure out all the functionality. I cant switch to any other platform. Plenty of good indicators for free in the custom indicator forum so make sure you check them out as well.

Hi,

 

I'm using TS 8.1 and I like its overall and complete functionality. My question is this:I would like to load delayed Euronext data (European, in this case Dutch stocks) into Owndata which is using TS to plot the graphs.

Does anyone have a (cheap) suggestion how this is possible??

 

thank you in advance

 

best regards

 

Hans,

Holland

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
