ocm1,

is it possible that you are missing the contract month, too? Shouldn't it be something like 6EU8. At least this is the way it works for the ES.

ZenFire data is attracting lot of attention.

I wonder: other things being equal would ZenFire data increase profitability?

Possibly for a scalper. It is not only a data feed but an execution engine. Some think it has surpassed TT in speed and data completeness.

Nick,

Thank you.

NEXT QUESTION:

Amongst the topics which have run more than a month, this one, with more than 1250 views per month, is probably the most popular.

What on earth are so many wanna be scalpers doing with MultiCharts?

Hello Zen-Fire users,

I have a problem with the Zen-fire feed. It does not backfill data. When I shut down my MC for an hour, then my MC is unable to collect the one hour missing data into my MC. Please see the screenshot of ES. Is there any solution to this problem?

Regards

Marina,

Will the new zenfire dll (that you mentioned in another thread) have the command ''Type * to show all symbols''?

Zenfire's website is ''economical'' in terms of information on the symbols they offer.

Actually that's a pretty good question! Maybe people want tip top execution and data completeness even if they are not scalpers :) After all saving a tick is still a saving.

Nick,

But the zen-fire feed does not backfill data. It is a suicide :lol:

Nothing wrong with wanting to save a tick.

But I wonder how many zen-fire adherents realise what makes one a successful trader is

proper money and trade management

not ticks saving!

Kalid spot on my friend. Tresor Zen never was a historical data feed. It is, and always has been, a real time data feed and execution engine. I think where you might have been confused in the past is that NT stores historical Zen data and provides it as a service to their customers :)

Thank you, Nick.

And your point is also valid:

a tick saved is a tick earned -- after all trading is a business.

Sadly most traders are inclined to look for this not by disciplined application but through external aids.
