Download VisualQuant Getting Started Guide

Currently the dialog can only be used to create stock instruments. Futures, Forex, and Options
instruments are not supported yet because the dialog has no contract maturity dates, and no alternate
exchanges or symbols for various providers.
Support for these instruments is currently being added to the next version of the product.
8.2
Importing Data
Currently VisualQuant has no data import capabilities. The only way to get data into the application is by
capturing live data (shown in an example later in this document).
8.3
Diagram for Capturing Data
To capture live data into an instrument, connect the Trade, Bid, and Ask outputs of an instrument block to
the inputs of the Market Data Providers/Historical Database block.
