Configure Data Sources Dialog

The Configure Data Sources Dialog allows you to modify the settings associated with the data sources defined in TradingSolutions.

Data sources are providers and services that provide data for use in programs such as TradingSolutions. Settings associated with these services include user account settings and indicating times when new data is available.

&  For help with data sources, see Configuring Data Sources.

Selecting a Data Source to Modify

All of the data sources currently available in TradingSolutions are listed in the Available Data Sources list. Brief information about the selected data source is displayed in the Additional Information For Selected Source window.

The following buttons are available for working with the selected data source.

·      Sign Up For Service…

This button opens the wizard or website where you can register to use the selected data source.

·      Update/Delete Account…

This button opens the wizard or website where you can update your account information for the selected data source.

Ä    Note: The Update/Delete Account… button will be displayed instead of the Sign Up For Service… button if the selected data source is already configured for use. For most data sources, either button will display the same wizard or website.

·      Modify Data Source Settings…

This button displays the Modify Data Source Settings Dialog, which allows you to modify settings, such as your username and password, associated with the selected data source.

Ä    Note: Pressing this button for the Solution Service data source will display the Modify Solution Service Settings dialog.

Why Aren’t All Of These Data Sources Listed in the Import Data Wizard?

While TradingSolutions can interact with all of the data sources listed on this dialog, only data sources that have the necessary information defined are listed in the Import Data Wizard: Select Data To Download page.

For example, if a data source requires a username and password to be accessed, that username and password must be entered on the Modify Data Source Settings Dialog before that data source can be used.

Ä    Note: It is not always necessary to enter this information manually. TradingSolutions may be able to access your username and password information and fill these values in fro you automatically.

What Do I Do Next?

When you are finished modifying data source settings, press the Done button.

How Did I Get Here?

This Configure Data Sources Dialog is displayed when you select Define Data Sources… from the Data menu. It also appears if the Define Data Sources button on the toolbar is selected. In addition, it can be displayed by pressing the Data Sources… button on the Import Data Wizard: Select Type page.
