thanks. i cannot have two connections on the same computer at the same time correct?

Hi,

You can have each connection setup, but you would not be able to connect to each at the same time, so, yes, you are correct.

Hi, I'm connecting via AMERITRADE, i've done quite a few searches and added the tick data to the instrument manager. I can see the data, but I cannot plot it?

It freezes on the retrieving data, cannot be cancelled message.

I'm retrieving w/ the symbol ^tick

I'm using 6.5.1000.14

Hi desiSurfer,

Since TD Ameritrade does not offer historical $TICK or $TRIN data, you will need to make sure to set the chart to load without historical data.

In the Format Data Series window, under the Range Settings section, use Bars Back=0.
This should allow you to open the chart successfully.

Same issue,

RETREIVING DATA FOR "^TICK"

[NinjaTrader_Kyle]

Hi desiSurfer,

Can you provide me with an image of your Format Data Series window with the options you are trying to use?
To take a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CRTL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and attach the file to your next reply.

error: backfill: "$TICK" HDR: 400 Data acquisition Failed for 1 of 1 requests. Error Retrieving Data.

Ok, it worked this time.

Thank you much for the help.

Ah, I see that many others than me are also in the same situation

What did you guys go for?

I am also contemplating BarCharts, but I`m curious if Live Charts from eSignal might be a good option.

Then I could set up a dedicated screen for the NYSE TICK, Advancers vs Decliners and a watchlist of the sector ETFs from the S&P 500 universe.

That is pretty much what I need

Thanks in advance,

Johnny

I ended up realizing that I can get market internals from thinkorswim, which I also have. They have that data available on their platform.
