automatically? |

Answer |
From some emails I've been getting recently, I think our new backfill
automation may have slipped into the product with many of you being
unaware of it. This is a very valuable feature for those of you tracking
10 or 20 symbols on a tick-by-tick basis. Each time you start
Investor/RT and startup your data feed, you can setup Investor/RT to
automatically backfill tick data (and daily data), back to the time you
last stopped the feed. In other words, it should eliminate the need to
manually backfill data for many of you. The text below is pasted from
the What's New in 8.9.
See "Setup: Preferences: Backfill" to enable automated downloading of
historical tick data when connecting to the data feed. Investor/RT now
keeps track of the last time real-time data reception ended. This
information is then used when reconnecting to the data feed later to
determine whether backfill is necessary on a symbol by symbol basis. The
software can initiate tick data backfills automatically for all of your
intra-day marked symbols, or just those that you have open in chart
windows. At present this new feature is being introduced for testing.
Your feedback is welcomed; we expect to make further improvements and
refinements in future releases. Initially, this feature is available for
users of eSignal, DTN IQFEED, DTN IQ, and other realtime feeds
supplemented by DTN Market Access historical services. |
