Hello,
I am attempting to play back the last 100 days.
I am attempting to do so on a 2 tick Renko
I have tried on two symbols
@ES#
and ESU2
I can get the tick data loaded, but when I go to replay the data, it is extremely choppy and not fluent. You cannot use the dom at all bc it sits on 1 price and then jumps up 10 handles. I am running at playback speed 10 seconds.
When I move the time frame to <10days or less then the dom and chart act normal and is fluent and you can sim trade etc on it.
How can I fix this so that I can sim trade 100 days ago, and make the charts fluent and be able to use the chart dom.
I am using a blank new chart with just the Dom and Renko applied.
I think the issue is a user error . I requested to download new data, which replaces my existing data, and then I am attempting to download data during market hours, which the data feeds limit to 8 days of tick data, during RTH hours.
Yes, you can only download 5 days of data from IQFEED/DTNMA during market hours. You'll need to request the extended data after hours (and the request will take a while).
Once way to confirm how far back you have tick data. Just open a 60 minute chart, and add the VB indicator to it as I've done in this chart. You'll have VB data as far back as you have tick data. So I pretty clearly have only 5 days of tick data based on this chart image: https://www.linnsoft.com/charts/cp-tickdatacheck-es
And you won't really see proper DOM updates during playback. We do not store any of the depth information historically. You'll only see level 1 price updates in the DOM.
