Hi All,
I'm having problems with getting real time quotes and adding new instruments while I'm connected to the data feed through IB's TWS:
Connection settings:

Instrument Format:

My MC & IB's TWS versions (I'm using the MC from MC web site and not the limited version from TWS):
http://go-ram.s3.amazonaws.com/MultiCha ... MC_Ver.png
http://go-ram.s3.amazonaws.com/MultiCha ... WS_Ver.png
i tried to reinstall/reboot/shutoff the firewall/anything I could think of but no joy... I guess I'm missing something basic here
Any thoughts?
Thank you all in advance,
Cheers,
R.

Re: problem with Connection [SOLVED]
Hello Ram,
In MultiCharts data provider and broker connections are separate. You can see the status of the broker connection on the Trade Bar in MultiCharts.
Order and position tracker Logs tab shows the information on the trading events and messages received from broker.
As for the data connection - you can trace the connection status in QuoteManager Event Log. There is no other visual indication of the datafeed status similar to broker connection.
As for the data feed connection issue you have:
Please go to Quote Manager->Tools->Data sources->IB->Settings->Click Reset -> Ok.
Then go back to IB Settings and select your version of TWS (Stand alone or web based).
If that does not help - that is possible that you are using a TWS that has a specific window name (ex. InvestorsEurope Ltd Atlas Trader). To overcome that you need to uncheck "Launch IB TWS at start" in the IB data feed settings.
