Tick-Bar

[EdwinJ]

Something strange.... In one of my Motivewave folders,CQG historical data, i have in the M2KU23 folder, so last year, bar data and tick data. So this contract was build with bar data and tick data, that isn't right, right?... And for what i can see.. tick data isn't in any recent folder( i hope).

How would that be possible, i didn't downloaded tick data somewhere, and tick charts isn't even an option, at least not at the futures platform,... So a CQG thing?....

Motivewave keeps historical tick data (From CQG) on their servers and Motivewave uses that to populate charts... That is why you would have a CQG folder even if you don't use them as a data feed. It you did not do it, it is possible that folder was created when MW first launched with the default layout.

If you do not see tick data as an option that means your data feed does not support tick data, or you are running the Community or Standard Edition of MW.
