Data problem bid/ask zero?

[bfry5282]

Right now I'm reading bid and ask values of zero
for both AB (ER2) and ES, and probably more in streaming mode.
Is there a data issue on the servers or the exchanges?
TIA

[bfry5282]

var bid=getMostRecentBid(); // returns ZERO

I'm trying to figure out whether there is an esignal
feed issue at the moment.

AB emini futures bid/ask zero

var bid=getMostRecentBid();
var ask=getMostRecentAsk();
debugPrintln("bid:"+bid+" ask:"+ask);

// bid and ask are zero right now for AB U4
// emini russell 2000 september contract

I'm trying to figure out whether I have a problem on my end, but my s/w hasn't changed.

code

I'm baffled. This code prints zero for bid and ask today.
Am I crazy or is there something wrong with the
futures feeds or an efs interaction with streaming
data in AB U4 and others?


function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(true);
}

function main() {
debugPrintln("===================");
debugPrintln("direct "+getMostRecentBid()+" "+getMostRecentAsk());
var bid=getMostRecentBid(); // use variables
var ask=getMostRecentAsk();
debugPrintln("var bid:"+bid+" ask:"+ask);
}

An advanced T chart configured to show bid and ask does show bid/ask data on the chart...

OK, I'm still baffled as to what is going on...

FWIW, many of my scripts have always behaved differently, and continue to behave differently, after a holiday or a short day.

In a day or two they settle down and behave normally, wheter or not I attempt to "fix" them.

I've just come to expect it.

This is broken, not just behaving differently.

Hello bfry,

There does seem to be something broken. It's currently being investigated.

[pflash50]

OK. Sometimes the "different behavior" I see is that something that was working fine stops working at all.

A day or two later, it starts working again.

Specific return values, or on-chart text/number displays, etc. I've not been able to detect a pattern that gives me a clue to follow up.

But I keep looking.

Volume Problem in E-Minis

I am having the same problem. I am getting zeroes in Bid/Ask volume using an efs which tracks this, as well as with the eSignal supplied efs that gives regular volume bars.

I use Constant Volume charts to trade, and these haven't worked correctly since yesterday. For a visual display of the problem, I'm using 1500v for the Dow Emini or 10000v for the S&P Emini (in the Interval entry where you'd normally type in the number of minutes). Check the number of bars drawn per day last week vs. this week.

I trade from these charts - well, not this week... Is it possible to get an idea when Constant Volume charts will be available again?

Hello MKen,

Please see this thread for more details.

Thanks JasonK:

The only thing I can think of that occurred between last week and this week, is most traders rolled over to the next contracts (M4 to U4). For what I watch, YM Bid/Ask volume seems to be working properly, but ES and NQ are not. Thank you for your assistance.

Ken

Ken,
You're right, YM (eCBOT) is working!
AB (eMini Russell 2000) is not working; neither is ES.
NQ is not working either...
Is it a Globex interaction with eSignal code?

This is really messing me up this week, so please fix it asap.
