Hi
I am connected to TWS but I cannot get a single symbol to work.
Using MultiCharts64 Version 8.0 Release (Build 5622).
When I add a symbol in symbol mapping I always get Custom future window(not that any future works either..)
Whats wrong?
thx

Re: cannot add any instrument with Interactive brokers
hi
1)
"Instrument > Add Symbol > From Data Source > InteractiveBrokers"
It says Waiting and no symbols are found ....
2) when I try to open chart e.g. IB:AAPL a chart pops up saying Establishing connection (H: online) but no data are loaded.
I can see Quotes in trading window though. Also opened position PnL.
I can see in the log Invalid value in field # 541
No charts
Re: cannot add any instrument with Interactive brokers
I have a nonstandard TWS port.
I had it set correctly for the trading interface but it needs to be set as well for the datafeed(else it keeps using the default port)!
So now I can lookup symbols from TWS but the charts still have no data...
Just reading:"Establishing connection"

After some time it just kicked in. probably backfilling?

Fritol, you can check the Event Log of QuoteManager to trace the data feed activity.
