Run through the download process.  Once completed move on to Step 2.

Step 2 – Contacting the Market Analyst Sales Team

You will also need to ensure you have access to the External Data Access module which is included in all of our data packages (Australian EOD package starting from $49 per month).  To arrange a trial of this module, or to set up a subscription please call the sales team on 1300 655 262.

Once this has been done open Market Analyst 6, click on the Settings menu and select Advanced Data Settings tab.  In the list displayed tick the IQ Feed option and then OK.



Close Market Analyst down.

Step 3 – Logging into the Data Feed

Once the IQ Feed downloader has been installed, and you’ve subscribed to access the  external data you can login to the data feed.  To do this Open Market Analyst and Login to the program.

The index files will be added to the system.  Once completed click the Finish button and restart Market Analyst.

Please note that your IQ Feed account may give you access to more exchanges (and codes) than what is currently displaying in MA6. 

However, it is possible to manually add custom exchanges and codes into the program.  The following video will show you how to do this.

Note – You will only be able to download data for exchanges you have subscribed to via IQ Feed.  While you will be able to see the exchange folders / files without a subscription, the charts will not display any data if an active subscription is not enabled on your account.  Full information on what is available via IQ Feed, including the pricing structure is available here.
