Adding NYSE TICK with DTN data

[brownsfan019]

I am trying to load a NYSE TICK chart with DTN data. According to my DTN rep, the data is turned on and ready to go.

When I search for TICK on NT, I find ^TICK which does nothing when I load it.

DTN told me the symbol is TICK.Z

I attempted to load one manually but that did not work.

How do I get NT to load a NYSE TICK chart through DTN data?

Thanks!

Hi Brownsfan,

Thank you for your post.

Please try the following.

- From the Control Center --> Tools --> Instrument Manager

- Bring up the TICK index and click edit.

- From the instrument editor click the MISC TAB and enter TICK.Z as displayed within the attached screen shot.

- Remove the TICK index from your default instrument list and then add it back to that list. This must be done for the changes to take effect.

Perfect, thanks!!!

One question - how much back data of the TICK should I get with DTN?

Hi Brownsfan,

It is best to contact DTN IQ with this inquiry for the exact amount of historical data you can request from them. I created a chart for the Nyse Tick with a daily interval for 3 years of historical data and displayed all requested data.

- From the Control Center --> Tools --> Instrument Manager

-Please remove (>) the current ^TICK instrument from your default list.

- Bring up the TICK index and click edit.

- From the instrument editor click the MISC TAB and enter TICK.Z as displayed within the attached screen shot.

- Add the TICK instrument (<) press OK then open a chart.
