Simulated Data Feed setup

[localappleseed]

Do you have guideline to setup simulated data feed?
I connected to Simulated Data Feed, then open a chart for Stock "SPY", I don't see any chart update as I see from live data feed. Is there anything missing? Thanks.

Hello localappleseed,

Thanks for posting.

Below is a link to the Help guide section covering the Simulated Data Feed:

If you right-click the chart, go to Data Series, and set trading Hours to 'Default 24/7', does the chart display anything?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

The Simulated Data Feed is very useful. Thanks!

It does, however, have some aspects that could be improved:

• Provide the ability to edit the configuration of the feed independent of specific Instruments or charts -- one could have options that are global and would apply to all Instruments and Instrument types, as well as a lower hierarchy of the same options that apply per Instrument type, and a yet lower hierarchy of the same options that is per Instrument, with precedence starting from per Instrument
• Provide an option to automatically start the data at the most recent Last price of real data, if known
• Make the Trading Hours modifiable for the feed, independent of the real data Trading Hours -- this could be part of the first point above, and/or added to the current per Instrument options

Most grateful for consideration of these enhancements.

Thanks.
