The brokerage integration features of Investor/RT currently operate with Rithmic, CQG and Interactive Brokers. These brokerage features are designed to provide what you may call "trading from the charts", where signals and button clicks are employed to initiate trading actions. Feedback on current position, average fill price, and working order size and price levels is provided in the charts automatically.

Access to Market Breadth Indices and other Statistics like the TICK.Z, TRIN, ADD, VIX, TYX, TNX, PREM etc., are available at an additional cost if you are using DTN IQfeed or ESignal for real time data. To add these to your account, you will have to contact them directly. If you are feeding Investor/RT with a broker feed and using DTN Market Access for historical data, you may notice that these indices are available by downloading them but the data is not flowing in real time.

It's that time of the quarter (or month), time to roll over your futures contract to the new month. At the time of editing this topic, ESM4 (June 2024) is about to expire and ESU4 (Sept 2024) is becoming the new front-month contract. To keep relevant long term view analysis (especially the one involving Volume profile), the vast majority of our users wish to remove the gap created in the continuous contract (@ES#) data when a contract rolls over. Let's review this simple procedure:

Dynamic Profiles allow the price action of the market to dictate the duration of a profile. As price continues to trade within a given range, a profile will continue to build. New profiles are only formed once price moves to new levels relative to recent bars.

Below are the market hours for Forex (US/Eastern).

The highest volume / most activity is found during the periods where the markets overlap (seen below). For this reason, these periods are generally considered the best times to trade.

Investor/RT uses DTN premium adjusted continuous contract historical data while other charting products are likely using the raw @ES# continuous contract historical data. The adjusted contract is premium adjusted so that charting of price on front month rollover days is smooth, no discrete gap up that has to do with time premium and little to do with market sentiment. We provide a means to turn off this default behavior in Investor/RT using a configuration variable.
