Re: automatic trading with interactive brokers
You must fill in the master api client id in TWS. And also use the same in MC. You can use 1 for example.
In the brokerprofile setup in MC, you use the same settings.

Re: automatic trading with interactive brokers
If the [SA] or [AA] button is green, it means you are connected to the broker account and automated trading is enabled. If you don't see orders on your chart, most likely the conditions for order generation are not met or the generated orders are rejected.i set up as the below pic. settings on interactive brokers are correct, but it can't connect to the automatic trading gateway, thus the trading system is not executed.
We recommend to use 0 for Client ID in order to let MultiCharts "see" all orders and positions and not only the ones, which were opened from our software.I did it but does not work
This is expected behavior. Please read about modes of auto trading.also when I enable Automate Order Execution me disappears from the graph historical trading system
Re: automatic trading with interactive brokers
Now I read Submitted but orders are not executed ..
my program:
inputs: Price( Close ), FastLength( 9 ), SlowLength( 18 ) ;
variables: var0( 0 ), var1( 0 ) ;
var0 = AverageFC( Price, FastLength ) ;
var1 = AverageFC( Price, SlowLength ) ;
condition1 = CurrentBar > 1 and var0 crosses over var1 ;
if condition1 then
Buy ( "MA2CrossLE" ) next bar at market ;

Re: automatic trading with interactive brokers
i wonder if the different symbol format could be a problem. For istance: i have esignal as datafeed, while my broker is interactivebroker. Obviously they have different symbol for the same istrument. Is this an issue? Or the API does the translation automatically?
In symbol mapping i can't find the way to bind the 2 symbols

Re: automatic trading with interactive brokers
MultiCharts is not a broker, it is a trading platform only, what means that our software is not responsible for order execution when you trade with your broker. The software places/modifies/cancels orders according to your strategy. The broker executed the orders.Now I read Submitted but orders are not executed ..
If the symbols names are different, symbol mapping should be set up manually. However, if an order is submitted in Order and Position Tracker window, mapping should be ok.i wonder if the different symbol format could be a problem.
