unrealized P/L not sync between MC and TWS

Postby Xslim » 25 May 2018

I got a problem that bother me more and more. IB TWS unrealized P/L and MC shown always are not equal. MC shown lag more than few minutes, not a fix number in minutes, sometimes few seconds.
<Windows 10, MC64 11.0 Build 16148, TWS 971>

Hello Xslim,

There are multiple modes for IB PnL calculation. You need to select the one you need depending on your account type and available data subscriptions:

Hi Henry, I think what Xslim is saying is that there is significant lag updating the PnL. Sometimes it seems frozen. I have not had time to figure out what is happening but I had to switch to TWS from the gateway just to see what was happening. This is something new but I will try provide more info when I have it.

@Xslim ...I think the best thing to try is to roll back to an older version of TWS/Gateway and see if it still happens.

Hi Alex, thank you for your clarify my issue, you had correct point out the question.
I had use MC and TWS for a long time, old version had no issue about the lag, but I not sure what version of MC or TWS should be fine, it seems 3 months ago will be fine.

Please avoid using TWS Beta Build 972.0f (May 14, 2018) - it has a known issue affecting the realtime data.
Stick to the TWS Latest Build 972.1a (May 18, 2018).
The Beta build with the fix should become available within a few days.
