How to Import ibcharts.com data to Ensign
The ever resourceful Sputnik has figured out a way to get IB quality backfill using the
IBCharts.com program.
This would have been very useful today, for instance, when *nothing* could be done to to properly fill in the YM or Euro data from Friday close to Tuesday open. The data started at 23.50ET, rather than 20.10ET for YM or 18:00ET for the Euro, leaving huge chunks of data missing, rendering Chart2 of the AlanBox useless.
It isn't as easy as a right-click Refresh, rather, something best done before the open.
Here is a link to
How-To Import Data from ibcharts.com .
This is most useful to traders, like me, who are now using the IB/TWS interface as a data feed. I gave up Esignal last month when the cost to add Euro and QM would have tripled my data feed costs. Already being an IB broker client, I decided to take the plunge. I'll be posting a sort of "IB as Feed Review and Hints" sometime soon as I need to corral all the bits and pieces for myself.

of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
