Re: Futures continuous contract
Now you're confusing us.LOL TJ please don't take us for idiots !
It's working in regular bar ! not in renko !
IB datafeed send ticks and MC Make Renko bars !
You said that you weren't able to get IB's continuous contracts in MC (which TJ replied saying it's an IB restriction - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48930#p117244 ) but now you're saying that you do but only for regular bars, not Renko?

Re: Futures continuous contract
Hi,
IB continuous contracts are not supported in MultiCharts because they are not provided through IB API. But you can use custom futures functionality to create continuous contracts from IB in MultiCharts. If you use custom futures on the chart, you will not be able to plot Renko charts for them.

Ok, smoky's was not an IB native continuous contract. That explains it. Thanks for the clarification.
