J-Chart powered by Strategy Runner

Version Specific Features

J-Chart/SR is an innovative analysis methodology and third-party software that integrates with the Strategy Runner trading platform. This way, J-Chart/SR utilizes Strategy Runner's streaming data feed.

Important note: The following descriptions and directions assume that you are an existing user of Strategy Runner which will allow you to retrieve live data through this platform. If you are not an existing Strategy Runner user you will not be able to use J-Chart/SR. Find more information about brokerage houses that offer the Strategy Runner platform at www.strategyrunner.com/Content/Partners.html. Strategy Runner's service is independent from our service.

The following figure illustrates the technical structure.

J-Chart's integration with SR's streaming data feed makes it an easy-to-go and fast charting tool especially suitable for active day trading. At the same time, the received streaming data will be locally stored on your PC's hard disk. This way, you are able to build up a "historical data base" for even medium- and long-term analysis.

Due to the given technical infrastructure (SR simply provides live streaming data without backfilling), there are some version specific limitations that you should be aware of. The following 3 recommendations will help you to avoid a loss of data:

1. Run J-Chart (and SR) every trading day. Being unconnected at any time when trading occurs results in a loss of data. Open J-Chart (and SR) every trading day at the beginning of the trading session in order to receive all streaming data through this trading platform. If you connect in the middle of the trading session, today's previous data will be missing for the rest of the day.
   
   
2. Use separate windows for each product. Switching between different products within one J-Chart window results in a loss of streaming (intraday) data. If you want to watch and analyze different products at the same time, we recommend you to open a separate window for each product.
   
   
3. Perform intraday analyses of previous trading days before markets open OR use separate windows during the trading session. Changing the date in the "date drop-down menu" from today's ongoing trading session to any previous trading day results in a loss of streaming (intraday) data, as J-Chart/SR will be disconnected from SR's streaming data feed.
   
   

In order to avoid the loss of data, we recommend you to either watch previous days' intraday action before markets open or use a separate window to do so during the live trading session.

Follow the 3 recommendations above to receive all data through the SR trading platform. If you still experience a loss of intraday data, on the next day (after 00:00:00 CST) you can use the Update function to retrieve and update the missing data of the previous trading day(s).
