Tom B Trader's lab

Hi Eddy,

I have both Investor R/T and Bookmap. Would this still import into bookmap cloud notes if I use CQG data for Investor R/T and Bookmap data for bookmap?

Mixed data feed setup (CQG into I/RT / Bookmap Data in BM)

Hi Keith,

yes, this is fully possible. One could use IQ feed, Rithmic or CQG to generate the cloud notes level Tom B is using, whatever the data feed being used in Bookmap on the bookmap side. There is, of course, one minor adjustment to be done in the first column "input" csv file used (in the Exportdata indicator), which has to match the future symbol name used in the Bookmap cloud notes files (and that follows Bookmap symbology)

In this main support page, we provided the structure of the I/RT csv input file when a user is feeding both Investor/RT and Bookmap with the same Rithmic data feed, and this  looked like that

%TICKER.CME@RITHMIC,%V#43,SETL,Black,Gray,center,,,,,,

In that case, we used the dynamic %TICKER token to recover the "ESZ5" string (which is the ES future symbol used by I/RT when the datafeed is Rithmic ) so that we can automatically generate the Rithmic symbol used in Bookmap (ESZ5.CME@RITHMIC)

In your case, you will generate the level by having an I/RT chart setup with the CQG symbol for ES (EPZ25)

so you just need to modify the structure of the Input csv file (used in the exportdata indicator) so that it matches the bookmap data symbol for ES, ie ESZ5.CME@BMD

So just replace %TICKER.CME@RITHMIC in every line of the input csv file by ESZ5.CME@BMD

ESZ5.CME@BMD,%V#43,SETL,Black,Gray,center,,,,,,

Cloud Note issue

Hi Eddy,
I have been having an issue with sending Tom B levels to my bookmap. I decided to keep it simple and have Investor rt and bookmap both run on Rithmic since I am not too computer savvy. Please correct me if I'm wrong but in the forum we don't have to follow the youtube video on post #2 because post #11 guides us through the process much easier. I followed the instructions in post #11 exactly and keep coming up with this issue. I have attached the screenshot of what keeps coming up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Keith

Directory location of the Csv files for the Exportdata RTX

Hello Keith

on this page

https://www.linnsoft.com/tips/using-exportdata-indicators-generate-bookm...

I am showing the following screenshot with an example of the input and output files for the exportdata RTX file name that were, by definition, only valid for my own PC, i.e. my username is EddyF and I stored the Input_ES.csv (that can be downloaded here) on the "ED" sub-directory of Documents (and i also selected that same directory for the output file that will be automatically generated by I/RT and used as cloudnotes for Bookmap)

On your side, you need to adjust the "C:\Users\EddyF\Documents\ED" directory address accordingly in both I/RT exportdata RTX settings and BM cloudnotes configuration box. Assuming your username is KeithM and that you have created an "IRTCloudNotes" directory for storing the Input_ES.csv file in my documents, the correct file location will  be C:\Users\KeithM\Documents\IRTCloudNotes\Input_ES.csv

Hi Eddy,

Hi Eddy,

Quick question. When the new contract month changed over recently, I lost my levels for IBH2x, IBL2X, IBH15x, IBL15x. Is there something I need to look for as to why they are not being displayed? I have attached a screenshot showing the missing levels.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,

Hi Keith,

Issue has been identified. It happened only when the export chart viewing period is setup as the Full Globex Session. You may fix it by

 either re-importing the full chart defintion here (which has been updated)

or just by importing the following text file that contains the defintion for the 6 custom indicators, used to compute the IB 30 minutes (High nd low) and IB extensions (1.5x and 2.x)

Custom Indicator IB Extention Update

Just go to the main menu File > open > definition, select the file ad then select replace all

Initial Balance extension indicator update

Hi Keith,

Thank you for reporting the issue which has been identified. Under 16.1, it occurs when the export chart viewing period is setup as the Full Globex Session. You may fix it by updating the definition for the 6 custom indicators, used to compute the IB 30 minutes (High and Low) and IB extensions (1.5x and 2x). This can be done 

  • either by downloading this file:  Custom Indicator IB Extention Update - Just go to file > open >  Definition, select this text file and then select "replace all" (when prompted)
  • or either re-importing the full chart definition (which also includes the updated CI definition) => select also replace all when prompted

For the record, please note that

  • During the first hour, the 4 IB extension values (IB 1.5x and 2x High and Lows) returns N/A as the extension value are only displayed when the IB range is completed.
  • Reset of all IB related values tales place once a day value at the start if the cash session. This means that, if you open the Cloudnotes export chart just prior to the cash session open, the IB related value being displayed are still the one related to the Initial Balance of the previous cash session. At the cash market open, IB 30 and regular IB 60 High and Low values will start to update, and when the 1st hour of the market is over, IB extensions values will de displayed.
