Answers to Common Questions

   

Question

Can the Investor/RT and DTN Satellite combination allow me to download historical data, either daily or intraday?
   

Answer

DTN Satellite version of IRT does not have a historical data server, however, you can access the DTN.IQ historical server from your DTN IRT system if you have both a DTN.IQ login and a DTN Satellite receiver. If you use both DTN.IQ and DTN there is an additional software licensing charge ($195 per year or $20 per month). You can also use Dial/Data as a server for daily historical data with the DTN Satellite version of IRT. There is no extra LinnSoft license fee for using Dial/Data.

Investor/RT is the first software product to support dual usage of DTN.IQ for historical data access while simultaneously monitoring real-time market data using a DTN Satellite data feed. DTN.IQ historical server support is now a standard feature of the DTN version of Investor/RT for those users who have both a DTN satellite receiver and a DTN.IQ account with Internet access. In the DTN menu, choose Setup and enter your DTN.IQ user id and pin number in the spaces provided. DTN users may then use the Data Download window, or simply click the data download button in any chart window to retrieval daily or intra-day historical data for any ticker symbol or quotepage of ticker symbols. Users with dual DTN Satellite/DTN.IQ accounts also have the flexibility to use the Reconfigure command in the File Menu, to run Investor/RT with DTN.IQ as the source for both realtime data flow as well as historical data access.
