IB TWS latest not working properly with Multicharts 9 latest

Postby Erik Pepping » 02 Jul 2015

This morning i installed the last TWS stable from may 2015.
When a limit order gets filled. The position buttons are not enabled and the P/L tracking is no longer visible.

Reinstalling the december version of TWS made everything work again.

Hello Erik Pepping,

We are not aware of any compatibility issues with the latest builds of TWS.
Please make sure the connection is configured correctly both in MultiCharts and TWS after the update.

Ok, I realize my post was a bit short. Let me try to explain again.

1. The data connection is working. Data is coming in and the charts are plotting fine.
2. I'm putting in an limit order. Everything with the lines Entry, stop-loss and profit display fine.
3. When the order gets hit, Multicharts makes disappear the entry and the open position profit is no longer displayed. The stop loss and profit lines are still visible.
4. The trade buttons on chart trading are disabled and I can not close the order.

Erik

I get the same issue today on MC 9.1 beta with IB TWS 950.
I wasn't able to close the trade, so i manually disconnected ib broker profile on MC and connected back.
It was OK after.
