One: I asked this before, I really would like to know your answer. If you get corrupted data when down loading data for a day in all 300 of the stocks you follow, how do you go about correcting the data. With WOW I would have to go into each and every issue and delete the days data...that's 300 exercises, one very big pain in the ass! How do you handle it in TradeStation? Two: Just to make sure I understand you. If you miss downloading intraday tick data for say three days for all 300 issues you track, you can retrieve this intraday data from QFeed dynastorelight.com ) you can download one or 300 issues, for one or 300 days. What you'll get back is limited to what Quote.com will send you. For rebuilding a single day or a few days, yes, its been my experience that it works well. For patching an intraday hole (say you need to reboot your computer for some reason mid day) that definitely works well - you can specify download everything up to X time. and or via Omega? Can you auto do this for both feeds? I guess you can tell, I have been through the mill over the years with data problems. I always try to investigate how hard it is to go about correcting bad data. Working with good data is never a problem...<g> Three: If I am trading during the trading day with TradeStation and I decide I want to chart a issue I have not be tracking, can I download the years of intraday histories offered to QCharts via QFeed and or the Omega data service you are currently using for your current version of TradeStation so I can go about charting the issue in a timely manner?
