Concurrent Data

[traderji]

I use NT 7 and Interactive Brokers. I have several chart windows open each for a different timeframe M1, M5, M15, H1 & H4. All these charts are linked together. When I switch instruments there is annoyingly long delay while NT fetches the data from Interactive Brokers.

Why not allow the user to select multiple instruments (and multiple timeframes) for the data feed? That way when I switch instruments all the data is already coming in realtime so switching should be almost instant.

Maybe the user can preselect instruments and timeframes for each data connection ? So, for example, in the configuration for IB connection, I could configure

EURUSD - M1, M5, M15, H1 & H4
AUDUSD - M1, M5, M15, H1 & H4
GBPUSD - M1, M5, M15, H1 & H4

So as soon as NT connects to IB, it will subscribe to those feeds. Then I can keep swapping between those instruments in the charts without any lag.

Hi traderji, please try this: setup those symbols in your Market Analyzer and run for example an indicator column then pulling data for those in in the background. Then try switching charts for those symbols, they should be updating quicker.

Thanks Bertrand, that worked great!
