IB price is updated but no reflected in the chart

Postby MarketPupil » 18 Sep 2013

Hi, installed 8.7 to try but I have a problem in getting the price updated in the charts.
I have successfully made the connection to IB and I can see the price updating in the top of the chart but the chart is not drawn in real time.
I have played with the "Merge historical and real time data", the "Collect without update". Did I miss anything?

Hello MarketPupil,

Please add the symbols from the data source.
In QuoteManager please go to Instrument tab->Add symbol->From data source-> IB.

If IB is the only data provider you are using for your chart then please right click on your chart -> Format Instrument-> Instrument tab->make sure "Merge data sources into a single chart" is unchecked.

If the chart is still not updating with realtime data then go to Format Instrument->Settings tab and select the 24/7 session setting.

Problem fixed.
Only needed to change "Setting->Session" to 24/7 to get real time update.

Still much to learn about this software.
