Yeah, form what I can see it appears that IRT was written by people that actually know how to write efficient good software.  I'm a software engineer myself and still am amazed at how hard it is to find software that fits into this category! 

I'm coming from think or swim, and while Java has its performance disadvantages they seem to have maximized them.  :-)

I have been told that Mac hardware is very reliable.  I do not have the technical background to benchmark PC hardware performance with Mac hardware, but a 2.16 core 2 duo CPU on a PC system from late 2006 should provide plenty of power.
 
I am currently running IRT on a fairly new Dell Workstation with 3.0 core2 duo CPU, with 2 gigs of Ram, on 6 monitors.  But IRT and NinjaTrader combined are only using about 1% to 5% of the processor!  You have way more RAM than you need already. IRT uses a total of 40 megs of RAM in my case... with all 16 of my charts open at the same time.  With 2 gigs of RAM available in my system I always have at least 1.2 gigs not getting used for anything... even with NinjaTrader and other programs running at the same time.
 
Also, I ran IRT on a single core 2.6 Pentium 4 processor with 1 gig of RAM for a long time. 
 
I doubt that you need to be concerned about having 128 MB of VRAM.  That should be plenty.  We are talking about 2 D graphics, not 3 D gaming,  These are just charts that add a bar every minute or so... and the rest of the screen remains static. 
 
I use time-based charts with a lot of custom indicators (IRT is very efficient with CIs and only updates the last bar when doing recalcs). My guess is that the market profile charts would be more demanding... if you intend to use them. 
 
Best thing to do is to take IRT out for a test drive... and watch the speedometer and the tachometer on the Mac during peak demand times.  I think you will still have plenty of power left over if you need to pull out into the passing lane.

Greetings,

I'm preping for the switch to Investor/RT and Infinity to do my 
futures trading. I'm wondering if my currently hardware will be 
sufficient or if I need something new.

Here are my currently specs, its a late 2006 24" iMac.

2.16 GHZ Core 2 Duo
L2 Cache 4MB
3 Gigs of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 128MB VRAM (Biggest Concern)

I'm guessing I'm going to need to upgrade. If I do, what we be the 
min specs suggested?

Thanks,

Adhamh

We recommend a subscription to DTN MA historical service for users of the Zen-Fire feed. The cost is $15/mo for this service. At present, our Zen-Fire implementation is limited to a backfill of the most recent sessions tick data. As beta testing continues, we will be adding interval data backfill for longer periods. In the meantime, long term intra-day data on continuous futures contracts via DTN MA server is the way to go. To add the DTN capability to your subscription, go the File-->License Activation and click Revise License; checkmark the DTN Historical Server checkbox and Submit. In a few seconds, the License Activation window will reappear showing that you are licensed to use DTN MA. You can use this same Revise License button to remove DTN MA from your subscription later if you wish, e.g. when we add interval data backfill from the Zen-Fire historical connection. Note that DTN symbol format is different from the symbols you use in Zen-Fire for real-time market data. Be sure to setup the downloading alias for each of your futures contracts, e.g. the symbol ESZ9 should have an alias of @ESZ9  (or @ES# for the continuous contract).

Bill

Hi, I am new to IRT, I do not have historical data and use the Zen-Fire feed, I am trying to fill my charts with data from the past several days which is what Zen-Fire provides me with (I believe 8 or 9 days). I have looked everywhere and am unable to find this and I have hit spacebar several hundred times.

Chris,
 
I am not using Zen-Fire, and am still running on 9.2.13, which does not support Zen-Fire, as far as I know, but just took a look at 10.0 beta 11 and might be able to help. First off all, I think you will need 10.0 beta 11... if you do not already have it installed.  See the list posts from Bill Linn  from 11/11 and 11/12.  Here is the link:
 
The 10.0 Beta 10 installer had a defect. It is now replaced with 10.0 Beta
11. Here are the updated links:
 
Windows: http://www.linnsoft.com/dl/win/beta/irt_win_100b11.exe
 
Mac OS X: http://www.linnsoft.com/dl/osx/beta/irt_osx_100b11.exe
 
Regards,
 
Bill
 
OK. You are on 10.0 b11.   The method that I usually use to download historical data is to go to the main tool bar and to click on the download icon (the arrow that runs in a circle).  This will open up a window so that you can specify which feed, # of days, symbols, periodicity, etc. to download. 
 
If that does not work, then take a look in the log to see what happened: File: Open: Message Log.
 
Note that this same download icon is located in the bottom right corner of each chart.  If you click there you will get the data for the number of days (and periodicity) that is specified in the view area for the chart (which might be more or less than you want).  Right click on the name of the chart in the lower left corner and look at the period setting to see how many days of data you will get.
 
If you are downloading tick data for an emini like the ES for multiple days, be aware that this is a huge amount of ticks, so give IRT some time to load this before asking for more chores.  You can see in the message log how far along the process is... and you can watch the processor in the task manager to see when the job is done.
 
Still no data?  Are you sure you are connected to the feed?  I use IQFEED, so that feed is listed at the top menu.  I click on "IQFEED" and click on status (to find out if it is connected). Should be similar for Zen-Fire I would think.
 
Let us know if you are still stuck.
 
Dan Tillemans

The "Label current values" checkbox below indicator preferences does not pertain to trendlines currently.  It will label the current value of historical lines, historgrams, and horizontal reference lines.  There is an option within the trendline preferences to "Label:" with a variety of values.  Try using that options.

hi B, I tried with 10 beta 11, and label current value they have turned off. There are namy options to label the point where you drew the second point for the trend line. that label current value I think usually is the value at the scale. not sure if possible to know that for trend line at the scale point. this is just my guess as a user. see what Linnsoft might comment for you.

Brian,
 
Try using the DV token (Date Time Value).
 
You can also try what Bill recommended.  To set the chart to % Change, right-click in chart and choose "type" and then choose between "% Change Bar", "% Change Candle" or "% Change Line".

Subject: [LinnSoft] Percent Price Change From Fixed Time

 

While this should be fairly easy, I have not come up with an easy way of plotting the % change of an instrument's price from a fixed time. I would like to fix the starting time of the percent calculation to specific news announcements.

I seem to remember a RTL token that returns the price of an instrument on a specified time and date, but have not been about to track down this token.

Help, anyone?

Brian

One way to accomplish this is the adjust the chart's preferences (see the "View" tab) and set the chart to what we call "Begin to Present" view period. You can see the Beginning data and precise time that the news announcement occurred. The chart will then show only the data for the period beginning at that time. You can then set the chart to %Change and see the price movements since that time expressed as %. This is useful for doing comparisons so see how different instruments in the chart responded % wise to the news.

While this should be fairly easy, I have not come up with an easy way of plotting the % change of an instrument's price from a fixed time. I would like to fix the starting time of the percent calculation to specific news announcements.

I seem to remember a RTL token that returns the price of an instrument on a specified time and date, but have not been about to track down this token.

Help, anyone?

Brian

Yep, should look exactly like it was on the day of the last backup.
All will be there: scans, signals, layouts, charts, qps etc etc and of course all the historic data

Ok Thanks Graham!
I take it that all scans, signals etc are in data f, including historical data?

Just as an after thought, just to avoid any misunderstanding IRT must be shut down when you copy across the data_f file

Hi Graham
 
Thanks for the info. Luckily, I backup IRT everytime I shutdown, so the files are intact and I can still access the hard drive.
I'll get on to Linnsoft regarding the licence.
Big thanks again for your help!

Christos,
Firstly, if your PC has shut down for the last time and you don't have any historic backup of your PC you are stuck. :-(
On a more positive note you can get support at Linnsoft to de-activate your current licence so that you can activate the new copy of IRT on your Notebook. Obviously you can load a new install copy of IRT from the website
If you do have a historic back up copy of IRT then after installing IRT on the notebook replace the data_f file from your backup site. Then re-activate the licence. I think that should do it for you.
I haven't done it for sometime but I believe that procedure should work for you.

Hello all.

My not so trusty PC running Windows XP has finally shutdown for the last time and I need to transfer all the IRT data on to my laptop.
I also need to install IRT on the laptop (Vista) and run for the first time with my current licence.
Can anyone tell me the steps I need to go through to make this happen? 

Thanks in advance

Open interest isn't available/applicable for intraday periodicities.  The number you see for the open interest of tickbars is primarily used for internal purposes but represents the number of ticks within each tickbar that traded at the same timestamp at the ending timestamp of the bar (last second of the bar).  So for instance, if you see an OI value of 10 for a bar, and the bar was timestamped 10:01:26, that means the last 10 trades/ticks within the tickbar all occurred at 10:01:26.  This number is used for certain indicators to properly allocate ticks between tickbars.

This may seem like a silly question but. Why when a trendline is drawn on a time
interval based chart, say 5 min, and a tick chart are their appearances so
different? If the price values of the two anchor points are the same and the
times of the relevant anchor bars/candles are practically the same it should
follow that the trendline and values along the line should also be the same.
However, this does not appear to be the case. Would appreciate any comments.
Thanks.

Because of my perception of how touchy the database is I run full
maintenance and backup every single day.  Since I started this I have
not had any database problems. Also I make sure my database never goes
over 1.5 GB.  Somewhere over this limit it gets real flaky and near 2
GB it just will screw everything up.  Newer versions over the past few
months may have changed the need for these precautions but I prefer to
stick to using a crutch that keeps me from being hit by stray cars if
you know what I mean.
