Opentick requires the correct exchange to be specified for each
instrument. For futures, this setup automatic for all future types defined
to Investor/RT (see Setup: Futures for a list of defined future types).
Futures symbols by convention begin with a slash, however, the leading
slash in optional in Investor/RT. Futures symbols are setup with the
future type followed by the month code and year code. /ESZ7 and ESZ7 are
equivalent and both are automatically assigned to the CME-EM exchange as
required by opentick.
See
http://www.opentick.com/index.php?app=search&event=symbols for
opentick symbol lookup. You can specify the exchange in the Setup:
Instruments window using the override exchange setting, or if you prefer
you can include the opentick exchange code directly as part of the ticker
symbol by appending a hyphen and the code. For example, to get quotes on
MSFT from the Island Book, setup the ticker symbol as MSFT-is, or setup
the ticker as MSFT and the override exchange as ISLAND in Setup:
Instruments. Note, the -is suffix is lower case. When typing into the
ticker symbol entry box, Investor/RT by default capitalized every letter
you type since 99% of time, ticker symbols are uppercase. In those rare
instances that you want one or more lower case letters in the ticker,
precede the character with the backslash \ character. The \ will be
ignored and the next letter you enter will not be uppercased
automatically. Thus, to enter MSFT-is you would type msft-
s and the entry box will read MSFT-is.
For stocks, with AUTO (automatic, no override exchange), Investor/RT will
assume NYSE for symbols of 3 letters or less, NASD for longer symbols. If
you want to follow a stock or EFT that trades on the AMEX, you can either
enter the symbol as QQQQ-A or enter the symbol as QQQQ with override
exchange set to AMEX.
Pay attention to message log messages that appear when you log into
opentick (File-->Open-->Message Log). The log will (a) show you every
exchange that you are licensed for real-time data (b) all exchange for
which you are not licensed, (c) any ticker symbols that opentick does not
recognize or for which you have no license.
Tick data downloading from opentick is available only on a delayed basis,
suitable for after market downloading several hours after the fact, but
unsuitable for intra-day backfill purposes. For this reason, one minute
downloads are recommended for opentick backfilling. However, Investor/RT
users can sign up for a DTN Market Access historical services account if
tick data backfill is needed, for example, to support Footprint Charting
or volume breakdown analysis.
