In the ot.log log file I find this error message. - - - 11/18/2016 6:28:13 AM Initializing RealTime datafeed: IQFeed 11/18/2016 6:28:18 AM RealTime OnLogon: Success 11/18/2016 6:28:19 AM RealTime OnConnect: Success 11/18/2016 6:28:19 AM RTDatafeed: Success 11/18/2016 6:28:19 AM CDataServer:OnSymbolError IQFeed'$VIX': Invalid symbol (not recognized by the data feed) 11/18/2016 6:28:19 AM $VIX: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:19 AM RSP: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:23 AM CDataServer:OnSymbolError IQFeed'$VIX': Invalid symbol (not recognized by the data feed) 11/18/2016 6:28:23 AM $VIX: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00.1716003 11/18/2016 6:28:23 AM ABC: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:25 AM AXP: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:26 AM BIDU: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:28 AM BLK: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 11/18/2016 6:28:32 AM BRK.B: Downloading RT data took 00:00:00 - - - Probably the symbol needs a special mapping for IQFeed. The IQFeed symbol for the VIX index is VIX.XO. Please, add a corresponding mapping for OT. Cheers, Christian |
