Re: IB CFDs

Yes, but this should be normal, see FAQ. CFD Display the underlying. Because of this you need the datafeed of the underlying.
I have aktive datafeed of german stocks and lse.
In tws i can trade cfd in realtime on live. But not in MC.

Why not based on pips?
Please add commands with pips instead of amount...

this make everything easier, for commands like setpercenttrailing etc.
