Yes ...

But what did you want :

IF you want to trade with IB and IB datafeed nobody need mapping.

If you want PaperTrading with IB datafeed you need to map each symbol with "PaperTrading broker"

when you create PaperTrading broker, don't forget to choose IB as your datafeed...

hope this help you ;)

to simulate you don't need IB broker.

make a "Paper Trading account" with your data provider, and map only instrument that you are trading (for the begining).

with IB you can also use IB as dataprovider and do Paper Trading with "Paper Trade account"

I'm starting to TS or IB and Paper Trader. It's a big pain because you have to manually have to change each exchange to "SMART". Multicharts needs to make "SMART" the default exchange for TS/IB.
