Is there a reason the bid/ask prices do not update on chart trading when trading CL futures? The chart last price seems to be updating of but not the Bid/Ask. Stocks seems to be ok.
Jim
edit:
Actually all bid ask prices for all instruments are lagging but last price seems to be real time.

Hello Jim,
Please compare the ask/bid prices in MultiCharts with the ask/bid prices in IB TWS Classic main grid.

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
Hello Henry,
Yes I am comparing with IB main grid, thats how I discovered the discrepancy. I happens whether I use IQ feed or IB as data fed. As I'm writing now AAPL last price is 111.09 but Ask is showing 111.16 and Bid 111.15 in chart trader.
In fact the bid ask is not moving at all.

* I've seen the same thing on the latest ver of MC 9.1 with ES and CL too.. I just haven't found a consistent way to show MC tech support, or I would have contacted them...
The ONLY thing that "seems" to temporarily fix it, is to delete IB in chart trading "broker profiles", then re-enter it... It normally works for a "little while" after that... definitely a bug..
** See attached- last ES price 2009.75 then look at bid-ask, not even close...
* I just added a CL chart as the bid-ask just stopped again.
MC ver 9.0 R7 did NOT have this problem..
I'm using the latest TWS desktop and IB API..

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
Definitely an issue, if I switch data feeds from IB to IQ it works temporarily as you said but then stops working, same if I reverse feed from IQ to IB.

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
I've reported this while testing the 9.1 beta. Sorry to hear that it wasn't fixed before a 9.1 release candidate came out.

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
Hi all,
Do you usually use "CTRL+ALT+R" in TWS/Gateway window to reconnect it to the data servers?

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
No I never had a need to before.
Just did in TWS but still no effect.
Interesting though when I switch over to my PaperTrade account with the same data feed my BiD/Ask updates correctly. Seems to only occur when IB is selected as my broker.
Also the Bid/Ask updates correctly in the Market Analyzer window.

this is a major bug, it would be great if multicharts could think about fixing major bugs immediately without waiting for another release.Hello Jim,

We the traders need at first a working platform, not a platform with the newest features!

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
Yes, the bid-ask "BUG" is a big one, for those of us who use "buy bid" and "sell ask" like I do...
When bid-ask freezes, your entry orders are way off...
*** A "patch" would be preferred, instead of waiting for the next release....

Re: Bid/Ask Futures prices using IB
It's a real problem and for me at least I'm in trial mode so I won't be purchasing this software unless this issue is resolved. There needs to be a hotfix to address this issue soon. I don't know why it's such a big deal, MC just needs to get out of the way and let the TWS Bid/Ask prices thru.
