Hi,
I have spent 1 hour with IB support , thought I would try here.
I can trade gold from TWS, trade goes through fine.
Trading from multicharts the trade appears on TWS but is immediately rejected.
PlaceOrder 20110906-10:17:24 2120917751.0 - Buy 1 GC - 201112 Limit 1860.00 GTC Account= xxxx; OptionAcct= c; OrderReference= MultiCharts: ID=[48], Symbol: GC (FUT, USD, 20111228), Exchange: MIBSX, Order: BUY-LMT, Lots: 1, StopPrice: 0, LimitPrice: 1860; CustomerOrderTime= 20110906-10:17:24; DdeId= 48; ServerId= 0; SecurityType= FUT; SecurityID= GCZ1; SecurityIDSource= 101; ContractMultiplier= 100.00; ExDestination= MIBSX; TWSTickerExchange= MIBSX; ContractID= 42795837; EOrder= Socket; Currency= USD; 6211 = ; 6238 = ;
OrdStatus= Rejected ---Text= No Trading Permission, Account Requirements;
IB confirm i have trading permissions for the symbol. The chart data comes into multicharts.
I have tried exchange set to NYMEX and GLOBEX.
Any help appreciated.

You should delete the symbol and add it again.from an order in TWS that worked ;
ExDestination= NYMEX;
the orders from multicharts that don't work;
ExDestination= MIBSX;
How do I change exchange destination ?
You can select the exchange when you add the new symbol.

Re: Anyone trading IB gold
Thanks for the reply TJ, tried that couldn't get it to work though....
I went into symbol mapping deleted MIBSX from the exchange and that allowed me to place orders.
Unusual but when i go back into symbol mapping MIBSX;NYMEX is still there. Over my head but it appears to be working all good now.Maybe there was an invalid character there or ....
