InvestoxRTT allows you to load extensive historical curves on-the-fly via a localized server backfill [00:01:24]:

1. In the main menu, navigate to **Administration** (Verwaltung) > **Data Maintenance** (Datenpflege) [00:01:24].

🛠 Troubleshooting: "TAI-PAN Real-Time Not Installed" Error Fix

If your software handshake fails or throws a connection error stating that no active TAI-PAN installation can be found, the localized Windows COM registration layers are out of sync [00:01:41]. Follow this quick routine to force-refresh the bridge:

1. Completely close your **InvestoxRTT** application [00:01:55].
2. Start your desktop **TAI-PAN Real-Time** software suite independently [00:01:55].

5. Relaunch InvestoxRTT and authenticate your TAI-PAN data feed login. The communication error will be resolved, and your real-time streams will resume flawlessly [00:02:17].

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I stream custom watchlist additions made in TAI-PAN into InvestoxRTT?

Yes. Any custom scanning profile, portfolio layout, or localized watchlist generated inside your Lenz+Partner TAI-PAN Real-Time workspace can be dynamically accessed and loaded inside the InvestoxRTT asset selection wizard.

What is the advantage of running a Quick Backfill?

When you add new symbols mid-session, they only start drawing charts from the exact second they are added. Running the Quick Backfill commands InvestoxRTT to immediately download preceding intraday history blocks from the TAI-PAN local database engine, giving your indicators immediate structural context.

Why are some real-time quotes not ticking in my InvestoxRTT workspace?

Real-time data streaming depends strictly on the exchange rights activated within your core TAI-PAN subscription plan with Lenz + Partner. Ensure that the required market packages (e.g., Eurex for DAX futures or Xetra for German equities) are fully authorized and active on your customer account.
