Ok, that I understand. Basically the problem with QFeed is that requests for historical data get queued and sometimes aren't serviced for a long time. Ticks are always served first. So if you have a program that already has the historical data and is now just collecting ticks, it would be happy. QCharts should have this option builtin. Actually, this is a good suggestion for RavenQuote and for QCharts. -Atin

Michael Watkins: So you collect each and every tick for the 300 or so charts you track? I guess that data can be converted into what ever time interval chart you want to plot, right? (Needs a few megabytes of disk space I would presume to store all that tick data?) What happens if you miss a day (for what every reason), can you go back and collect all the tick information. How does that work? How do you go back and collect tick data for say several days for all 300 issues? What happens if QFeed delivers data for all 300 issues that is corrupt one day. How do you correct that? If you decide to start tracking a stock you have not been tracking, can you download from QFeed the several years of intraday tick data you can access when charting via QCharts? Regards, LG PS: The data feed for TradeStation Pro is the same one used for WindowsOnWallStreet.Com. It has problems, like filling in holidays with the previous trading sessions data and minimal on demand intraday histories. PSS: By the way, I think WindowsOnWallStreet’s DayTrader produces the best looking charts on the market...<g>
