Hi,
I am running a strategy with IQFeed as feed on @EU# and Interactive Brokers as broker on an 8 point chart. And with this combination I ran into multiple problems.
1. The chart lags. The bars shown is sometimes a couple of bars behind. The position / P&L shown in the "Order and Position Tracker" is ok though (based on current prices).
2. Sometimes (mostly the first time) I enable auto-trading the mapping between the IQFeed and IB symbol is not been picked up and the symbol send to IB is @EU# - which means the first trade fails.
The third one is more a question than a problem, I think...
3. I cannot use a price scale setting of 1/100000, but have to use 1/10000, since IB cannot handle the first one. Is there a way to set this up? It would be nice to see the "real" date on the chart, but give IB something it could handle..
Cheers,
Marc

Re: problems with IQFeed / Interactive Brokers
Clarification, the "Strategy Open P/L" seems to be ok. The "Open P/L" is off.The position / P&L shown in the "Order and Position Tracker" is ok though (based on current prices).

Re: problems with IQFeed / Interactive Brokers
I now managed to make a screenshot of this. This is even without MC being connected to IB.
The screenshot shows MC which is 33 to 34 ticks off - connected to IQFeed. Atrader connected to the same IQFeed and NT connected to Zen-Fire. As you can see the prices shown Atrader/IQ and NT/ZF are only 1 tick apart..

Re: problems with IQFeed / Interactive Brokers
I do not think it is the mapping, since it works the 2nd/3rd time I reconnect, but I attach a screenshot of mine.
Any help appreciated...
