Hi, how do i view historical intraday data? for example, if I wanted to see how GOOGL traded the day after its last earnings on 4/23/2018, how do i see that?

Bruce will correct me if I'm wrong, but TC2000 price history is limited to 500 bars/candles. (Price data is in the cloud, and it's a small cloud. lol.)

If you need historical intraday data, TC2000 v7 Platinum might be an option, but that's not my thing, so Bruce will have to let you know.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

You would definitely get more historical daily data in TC2000 v7. The daily data goes back to the beginning of1984 for most symbols that have been around that long and even longer for some symbols. IBM goes back to the start of 1962 and DJ-30 goes back to the beginning of 1915 for example.

Having the intraday data be longer in TC2000 v7 will depend on the time frime.

In TC2000 v18, each time frame starts the trading day with 500 bars of data and adds new bars throughout the trading day if applicable (so the 1-minute time frame can have 890 bars of data at the end of the trading day for stocks and more for Forex). So each trading day starts with less than 2 days of 1-minute data available but almost 2 years of 4 hour or 195 minute data.

In TC2000 v7 data up through the 10 minute time frame currently goes back through July 24, 2018. That is in the 3100+ bar range for 1-minute data and the 300+ range for 10-minute data. The data in longer intraday time frames goes back to April 30, 2018. That is in the 1700+ bar range for 15-minute data and the 460+ bar range for 1-hour data (the longest intraday time frame available in TC2000 v7). These spans can change slightly, but this is pretty typical for the amount of intraday data available in TC2000 v7.

Note that you need to have both TC2000 Gold or Platinum as well as a Dow Jones Indexes feed of some sort to be able to run TC2000 v7 at all.

That reminds me. Got my Gold service back the other day. Included the $1 Dow Jones feed. Want to experiment w/ v7 data this weekend. Can't wait. :)

Thanks, Bruce!

On a side note, support hasn't been able to figure out how to allow me to post my avatar, or post it themselves. Bummer. It's the awesomest. Avatar. Ever.

You're welcome. The profile editing issue has been escalated. Not sure what could be causing it. The only unusual thing about your profile which comes to mind is the username changes.

Bruce, thanks for the update. Fingers crossed. Not the end of the world but would be nice to get the ol' stock market bull back where he belongs.

Other than all the username changes, I bounced around from Platnum to Gold to Silver to Gold to Silver to Gold ... for now I'm sticking with Gold unless I need to start trading intraday. For now, my plot for world domination includes contingency orders, and alerts.

Enjoy your weekend!

thanks for the help, any plans to improve this area? like on TOS, DAS, Tradestation, and many others, they all have the option of going to specific dates with any intraday timeframe. its good for studying

I do not know when or if the number of available bars or the ability to scroll to older bars might become available in TC2000 v18. Thank you for your suggestion.

I don't know how finely you need the intraday bars, but you can see 4/23/2018 with 78 Min bars, which will give you some feeling for how the day progressed

And the ol' stock market bull is apparently back where he belongs (at least in my browser).

Back in his rightful place on the interwebs! lol.

Yeah, I see it too. That was quick ... I just responded to Support's email asking for the url. Sounded like they couldn't get it to work in my profile, so they kinda did it manually. Which is fine, since I don't anticipate it changing often.

I do have a companion image with a stock market bear (of course), but if the market tanks I'll just trade more put options.

Got my Gold service back earlier this week, then lost my home internet access (long story). Should have that back tomorrow and I can start building a new workspace featuring that 4-color MACD/PPO Histogram you built. Saw your TCMail in my inbox. I appreciate all your help.

Bruce, enjoy your weekend!
