Hello,
IB, MC 7.4, Idealpro symbols.
Format Instrument->Settings->Quote Field set to Trade, it still shows Ask price.
If I change it to Bid price I get correct price as Bid, if I change it to Ask or Trade it always shows Ask price. Is here something wrong with my settings or its a bug?
Update: on the top of the chart says Trade price chosen.
Thank you
btw, when IB close Idealpro at 22:00 and open again at 22:15 MC doesn`t update my chart, had to "Reload All Data" to get quotes running again. Had same problem two days in a row.

Hello DRCM,
This question has been discussed in the following topic.
In MultiCharts Ask price is equal to Trade price because IB API is not providing the Trade price for Forex symbols.
Also install the attached updater.

Please make sure the session settings are correct in QuoteManager->Edit instrument->Sessions and MultiCharts->Format instrument->Settings tab.btw, when IB close Idealpro at 22:00 and open again at 22:15 MC doesn`t update my chart, had to "Reload All Data" to get quotes running again.

Hello,
how do we get the right price (Trade) on DOM if IB API doesn`t provide it?

Is it same updater released 2-3 weeks ago for version 7.4? if so, my MC is updated already. Settings looks ok. QM-Custom session template 24/7, MC-Default. However I`ll have a look at this problem next week and contact support if it still exist.
Thanks
Re: Wrong price on chart trading?
Hello DRCM,
As you are trading Forex on the same config than me (MC 7.4 / IB), you might be interested in reading the various problems I still have (backfill/update, last daily bar is wrong, timezone adjustment) . See MC-902 where I explain.
I have hopes that they will all be solved in MC 8.0.
Regarding the Trade price vs Bid price, I have also discovered that they are the same on MC. But this is not an issue with MC. Look at the way that TWS chart the Forex, they chart the midpoint, i.e. (bid + ask) / 2. This is because there is no "Last" price on Forex.
