IB TWS Data DLL / Clone for two sources?

Postby Lantama2 » 06 Jan 2021

Hello,

because of some changes in my setup I would like to connect two IB Data Sources (Gateways) to MC/QuoteManager. I heard from the support, that it is in general possible to clone Data Source DLLs. However I simply tried to copy and rename the tsIBDatafeed.dll but it was not working. MC was unable to differentiate between the two DLLs, I think.
Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Andreas

Hello, nobody any suggestions? MC support? It is quite frustrating to hear that it should be possible but somehow it is no supported feature.
Thank you
Andreas

Hello Lantama2,

Cloning was initially intended to be used to create individual templates for several Universal DDE providers, but was disabled.
Unfortunately, cloning is not supported for Interactive Brokers.
