Modified Quote Page/Board

March 10th, 2012

Do you want some extra levels in your Quote Page like the 24 hour VWAP / 24 hour MID and Cashclose ?

Or do you want to create a Custom Instrument and have the Monthly/Weekly levels ?
This is a lot more work but is a really nice feature.
At present Market Delta and Investor/RT is using the 24 hour session by default for Daily/Weekly and Monthly levels. So in order to have session depended levels ( we want to see session 0 or 2 only) we need to create a Custom Instrument.

Before you start lets make clear I am not providing support in case it’s not working for you as it should OK ? These charts require the Pro version of Investor/RT or Market Delta.

You can find the ORIGINAL FT71 QuoteBoard/QuotePage here :

FT71 QuoteBoard – This chart is used to help automated the overnight numbers (VPOC, High and Low), provide labels for all price levels, and to present the levels in a sorted QuoteBoard, in the FT71_ES_Intraday chart. Please watch this video for proper instruction on how to use this chart in conjunction with the FT71_ES_Intraday chart. There are several required steps for initial setup in addition to importing the chart including import the quotepage FT71_QB_QP.

You want the MODIFIED chart 1

1. First SETUP > PREFERENCES > USERVARIABLES

2. Download the Quote Page definition and import before the QuoteBoard !
3. Download the QuoteBoard Definition

You want the MODIFIED chart 2 including the Monthly/Weekly levels ?

1. Take step 1 as described above.
2. FILE > NEW > CUSTOM INSTRUMENT
Choose your instrument @ES# or ESZ1 depending on your data feed and type ES_RTH as Ticker symbol

3. This is how the instrument should look like : Session zero is CashClose !

4. Download the QuotePage definition AND import before the QuoteBoard !
5. Download the QuoteBoard definition.
6. If the QuotePage doesn’t give all names or all levels try > download data for ES_RTH > restart > reload both definitions.

Known bugs :
The McurH is not always updating in realtime (but it does when do data download current session)
When you start MD/IRT in the morning and update your Historical data for the ES with (IQFEED/DTNMA) you may need to download data for the ES_RTH QuoteBoard chart as well.
Keep the QB always open (minimized).

MD/IRT Tech is working to solve this issue ( In 10.5 you will no longer need to use custom instruments for the purpose you need. They are introducing new periodicity that automatically create bars based on intraday data but keeping that as daily bars)

Disclaimer : You are importing this definitions AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Please backup your current definitions !
If you already have V#’s programmed you may need to alter the list.
If you don’t have a clue what you are doing REMEMBER NO SUPPORT !

      I can’t reproduce your error, what seems to be the problem ? Ah when I logging out there wasn’t a download link right ? …you could have clicked on “Unable to embed this content type. Download this media”. Issue now fixed.
