No Data on TradeStation

[kmaster]

Hello,

I have read the posts on how to set up TradeStation with the eSignal plug-in. So far, I have not been successful running TS2k.

I went as far as fixing GlobalServer and verifying that the data is distributed. Things that I tried are uninstalling and re-installing TS2K and GlobalServer with SP5. Run Global Wizard after replacing the dbcapi.dll file. At least I got Globalserver to distribute the data in the symbol portfolio.

However, I have not been able to plot a chart yet since I have the plug-in. One thing that I noticed was the Field in the Format Symbol Dialog box is empty and someone told me it should be Trade Record.

Can you plot a chart in real time if you uninstall the Plugin?

Alexis,

Thanks for the reply. I have not tried it out on Real Time as I am mostly an End of the Day user. I do not have access to the computer with TS2k during the day. My computer at work does not allow me to install any personal programs.

I think I found the root cause of the problem accidentally. I deleted the symbols in the portfolio. Then added them back. Last I download the data.

I tried it briefly before I left for work and it appears to be ok.

How do I add the screenshots as part of the post? Thanks again.

Hi I have the same problem you had with plotting charts after downloading the data into GS. I am wondering if you found a solution to it and if you can help me out. Thanks in advance.

Hi adambranch,

First, follow Alexis instructions:

1. Update TS2ki to SP5
2. Load the eSignal Plug-In
3. Copy the dcapi.dll file from the eSignal folder to Windows/system32/
4. Clear all the old symbols in the GlobalServer portfolio
5. Do the download.

I am not sure but I suspect the data from History Bank cannot be mixed with eSignal data.

I loaded TS2ki into my laptop, did the above (except the clearing of symbols as I did not load the HistoryBank CD data) and it works perfectly.

Let me know if this resolve your problem.
