I use MultiCharts with Interactive Brokers, but I typically place my orders using the IB price ladder.
In the past, if I enabled chart trading on a MC chart, I was able to trade from the chart and I would also see historical trades, even if those trades were placed using the IB Trader Workstation price ladder.
Now, there are no historical orders shown - even though I have the "Show Historical Orders" option selected. I can however, place orders from the chart - so the connection to IB is working.
I have not needed this feature before, but now I want to paste my charts into my trading log with my trades shown on them.
Is there a trade log file somewhere that MC uses to collect historical trade data? If so, perhaps that's corrupted?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

Are you using continuous contract?
Re: Display of historical trades on chart
No luck - I went through the tutorial and made sure all settings are right. I found that the "Download open orders on connection" box was un-checked, but alas, it made no difference. Re-loaded TWS and MC, re-tried deleting/resetting symbol mapping, disconnect/reconnect... nada.
I can still place orders from the chart just fine, but it won't display today's trades.
Perhaps something I've changed will make it store/display my trades tomorrow. No huge rush. I just want to get it fixed.
