Great question.
There are some brokers who are charging for "link to excel" feature. If we see many fellow traders have this problem, we can develop utility which will not need link to excel enabled. Link to excel means RTD server enable for terminal. Application does not need excel to run all time when pulling data.
Procedure with ODIN and TT is different than NEST, NOW.
You may run NOW and pull data to AMI and use NEST, ODIN, TT for trading or otherwise no issue.
You can use Combo app for NOW or NEST and we have excel for ODIN or TT. Both can run in parallel. No issues.
You need only one license for one machine.
Hi Mr kanitkar,
I use Josh1 RTD utility to get data from Now to Ami, as well as
for backfill, for one of my segments.
Could you enumerate the distinct points by which your Shubha
RTD scores over Josh1 utility, which is free.
Would appreciate your response to this as I'm looking for a
faster RTD downloader.
Manual / easy backfill from nest /now plus data table is already there. Completly automated backfill will be ready soon. :thumb:
Hello Kanitkar,
Your efforts are appreciated.
Please throw light on the following -
Utility by Josh (market watch linked to excel and then to Ami) fetches data very nicely. However due to various reasons it may miss some ticks. This is observed when manually back fill is carried out using the data table. As a result the candles and the studies based on those candles change, thus giving sell instead of the original buy before back filling is completed.
Your utility is also using the link to excel feature of the trading terminal. Your utility has facility for back fill though data table (manually). Hence I suppose the above observation is also being experienced with people who are using your utility. Please correct me if I am wrong.
What I understand is that if data is fetched from the chart window of intra-day zero second interval, then the above will not be experienced. The chart and the data displayed on it of the trading terminal does not change, thus providing reliable data, which does not change with time. Further this would also not require - " link to excel " feature of the trading terminal, hence no need for paying extra.
All we need is a trading platform with charting facility. The more days available in the chart the better. Sharekhan gives 30 days 1 minute data, Angel broking gives 5 days 1 min data, NOW gives 1 day (zero tick) data using NEST PLUS you get 22 days 1 min data.
In my understanding, you should also work on these lines. I feel data providers use this feature (data from chart and not market watch) to provide reliable RT data, which is snap shot of 3 - 4 seconds with High,Low,Close,Open delayed by 2-3 seconds.
I have been observing and found that Trade Tiger/ODIN do the same. The chart data updates every 3-4 seconds and does not change. The low of the candle on the chart may be missed by the excel to Ami utility, thus giving a different candle in Ami as compared to the trading terminal chart.
I have no idea about NOW/NEST. Other users may be able to throw light.
Enjoy,
CArnot
