ptcm said:Thanks mokwit,
After I have the Global Server connected and in fact, started receiving data.
Under "quote receive": this number is constantly going up ...285..291...
But when I tried to insert this symbol in a brandnew workspace in TradeStation, I recevied an error message saying "no data available for the selected date range"
IB's TWS + MetaServer + Global Server are all connected.....
Has anyone encountered this problem before ? thanks a lot in advance....
terrisan said:I also am getting the same message "no data available for the selected date range"
I am running TWS -Metaserver -2000i and experiencing no problem with the ES symbol but
when I tried downloading forex data eg.USD/GBP I am not able to get a chart up. Metaserver is indicating that data is being received. Likewise Globalserver is receiving Quotes received and Quotes processed however when I edit symbol and load data there is nothing there. It is driving me nuts.

The fact of matter is it only takes 4 data points to plot a price bar. There's no need to collect to receive a huge amount of data first.

terrisan,
When you say it works with ES Symbol, which market is that ? coz I'm testing with their demo version. The data is not real "real-time." I am not sure if there's the primary reason of the error message.
Specifically, I am interested in these two symbols
HHI.HK
HSI
Do you think it will work for these 2 futures markets ? many thanks....... I will post the solution here once I found out what happpens.
terrisan said:ES is the symbol for the e-mini S&P 500 Futures. The current symbol for the June contract
is ESM6. The 2 symbols that you are interested in are Hong Kong futures and to download
data from IB you will need to subscribe to that service with IB. I see no reason why you should not be able access the data. Contact IB live.
No problem with future contracts, never tried stock symbols.ptcm said:so did you only have problem with stock symbol, such as MSFT. no problem at with futures symbol ?

Problem with currencies.
Trader333 said:A general comment on TS2000 and that is to ensure that it continues to run fairly efficiently it is a good idea to do the following on a daily basis:
Go to GlobalServer and click on "Tools" then click on "Run Nightly Maintenance"
If you havent done this before then it can take quite a while to do so but once it has been done once it will be a fairly quick process if done daily afterwards. It works a little bit like defrag and helps keep the speed up as well as preventing data integrity issues.

Nice one, what changes to the registry are required and what options does it give that are not normally seen ?

If its not top secret send me the ELD, if you want, and I'll ask a trader freind of mine to convert it.LevII said:I am trying to write EL code to perform a task in 2000i using the GlobalVariable.DLL.
I have an ELD file which contains the code I need.
Does anyone know of a way in which the contents of an ELD can be read as text without having access to TS8?
Assistance will be greatly appreciated.
