Trading from charts via Infinity using IQFeed for Data

I am trying to set up a connection to Infinity to trade directly from charts/DOM (as oppose to the broker AT Dom). Currently I receive data from IQFeed and as far as I can tell it is not possible to also connect Sierra to Infinity to trade from the charts - it seems the only way to do this is to receive data from Infinity (via Transact Trading feed service).

Is this correct or is it possible to receive data from IQFeed whilst also connecting to Infinity/Transacts direct trading service to trade directly from Sierra charts/dom.

Many thanks.

This page explains what you want to do.

However, before the end of this month, we are going to be offering our own CME real-time data feed which will be fully and seamlessly integrated with all trading services including TransAct. It will be $35 a month. More information can be found here about it:

Thank you both. Look forward to seeing your offer for the data. $35/m sounds very reasonable. Lets see how it compares!

Gents, since setting up the above ( 2 x copies, SOURCE set to receive data from IQ FEED, DESTINATION from Transact - trading) I have been experiencing problems with the DESTINATION copy, from which I am trading & reading my charts. Functionality has declined (e.g. when I select to draw a rectangle(elongated) to enter a zone on my charts I am no longer able to select Tool Config 1, 2, 3, etc). The cursor moves quite slowly around the screen, switching between charts & chartbooks has a slight delay and when I open the charts it takes a while to load (much longer than usual). My CPU usage does not appear particularly high and there are no stability issues - e.g. No crashes, all trade data/trades are sent and received by the Infinity system accurately.

Please see message logs for both copies below;

Make sure you have a drawing tool selected on the Tools menu. You should then be able to choose the particular configuration you want to Tools >> Current Tool Config. Are those menu items disabled? They should not be as long as you have a drawing tool selected other than Pointer.

For the performance issues, refer to the information in help topic 30 here:

There should not be any performance issues when using chart and other data from a remote instance of Sierra Chart. We do not think we have ever heard this before. So you should be able to solve the problem by looking through the items in help topic 30.

One question we have is do you have Global Settings >>General Settings >> Use Non-Chart Data from Remote Instances enabled? Do you notice any difference with performance when you change this setting?

Thank you for your speedy response.

The issue with the drawing tool was not that it didn't work but that it loaded very slowly from the toolbar - basically I have the rectangle and tool config1,2,3,4 etc. on my toolbar and when I selected the toolbar it did not give me the option to change the tool config from 1,2,3 etc.
With regard to the Global Settings >>General Settings >> Use Non-Chart Data from Remote Instances - I had this ticked in the DESTINATION copy of SIerra but not the SOURCE copy. Have now made sure it is ticked in both, and performance seems to be better.

I will see how things go when live data begins to stream.

Can you see from my message logs posted above whether my charts are correctly set up to trade through Transact using IQFeed for data? There are some error messages present but the actual trading side doesn't appear to have any issues at all.

Thanks again.

You do not need to check this option in the Source copy. It will not matter.

For the performance issue, it definitely must be one of the items documented here:
Http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/helpdetails30.html

There is nothing in the Message Logs which looks unusual. The Message Logs also do not indicate how the charts are configured.

For the time being it appears to have resolved itself - perhaps it was an issue with Windows 8 (I know its not recommended to use this!) CPU usage was NOT high - about 12% for Sierra Chart.

Anyway, thanks again for your excellent support - if I have further issues I will contact you again.

Cheers.

Gents, I have today subscribed to your data feed - just approved.

Please clarify how to set up to receive data from Sierra (historical & intraday/realtime)whilst continuing to trade from the charts through Infinity.

I have checked the web pages but its really is not clear - I was under the impression I could do the above without using 2 copies of sierra....is this the case?

Thanks as always.

You will only need a single copy of Sierra Chart. Just follow through the instructions beginning at step 6 here:

With respect, I have been through this and don't think its set up correctly.

For example; under steps 8,9 & 10 - which data feed from the drop down menu do I use?

And under step 13...how do I also connect to Infinity to trade directly from charts?

Thanks.

You choose "TransAct". The data feed is integrated when using any of the supported trading services like TransAct.

Since you are using the TransAct service, then you will be able to trade directly from Sierra Chart.

Ok this is mostly set up although I have a few issues.

1) My attached orders 'bracket is not being submitted to Infinity/Transact. Get the following message in the message log.

Trade Order Error - Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order. Internal Order ID: 8008. Symbol: ESZ3 | 2013-12-02 13:22:27

Trade Order Error - Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order. Internal Order ID: 8012. Symbol: ESZ3 | 2013-12-02 13:22:27

2)I get a similar message to above when trying to place orders in the CHART DOM

3) When opening Sierra Chart, I have it set to Continuous Futures contracts on my Daily chart - for some reason it is taking a very long time to reload all past contracts.

thanks in advance.

1, 2. Please contact TransAct support or your broker for help with this.

Let them know you are getting this error message:
Trade Order Error - Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order. Internal Order ID: 8008. Symbol: ESZ3 | 2013-12-02 13:22:27

3. About how long of a time? During the loading of the data is Sierra Chart unresponsive at times?

1/2 - thanks will contact them.

3 - It takes roughly 10 minutes as 4 instruments (6e, 6b, 6a & ES) cycle through loading the old contracts. Sierra is not unresponsive - there is no high CPU usage.

cheers.

1, 2. We did see the email communication that you have had with TransAct about this. We have responded to them. Since you have your own Sierra Chart account, the trading DOM features are available and we pointed out the specific order error text from their system. If they need any further details, we will need to obtain your Trade >>Trade Activity Log.

3. This may have to do with a large number of years of data being loaded in. It may be slow at first , however subsequent times the chart is loaded, it will be faster. This is going to be improved upon in the near future.

Could you please provide us the Trade >> Trade Activity Log showing the orders that are being rejected. Here are the instructions:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TradeActivityLog.php#TradeActivityLogToSupport

It should show all of the trade activity lines from all of the orders in the complete order set from the beginning.

As we understand this is Simulated Live trading, is this correct?

It is the server rejecting the order, but maybe we can get a clue as to what the problem is.

We have discovered the problem:
Order 2013-12-02 19:17:55.008 6EZ3 Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order 8172 Limit 1 Sell -2147483648.0000 Error [Sim]34066 Close 8171 1
Order 2013-12-02 19:17:55.009 6EZ3 Transact Futures order report (Order reject). Info: Failed to Place Order 8173 Stop 1 Sell -2147483648.0000 Error [Sim]34066 Close 8171 1

Notice how the order prices are significantly off (-2147483648.0000). This is because there is not a request to the TransAct market data feed which provides the necessary multiplier for order prices. We are able to calculate this multiplier though on our side. We are implementing a solution now. Although we are not quite sure how to calculate it for the CBOT markets which use fractions and we are contacting TransAct about this.

We should have a new release out in about an hour.

Ok gents, thank you. I'm not sure if it is related, but on the internal Sierra Chart sim trading, only on 6B contracts, when one enters a position it immediately closes out for a 120 odd tick profit. Earlier on it was also saying it didn't recognize the contract....if this is a different issue then no problem, I can give you more info tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help.

Correction to what we previously said: This does not seem to be related.



We have put out a new release now to solve the problem with orders submitted to TransAct with wrong order prices. Update with Help >> Download Prerelease and let us know how it works.
