IB Continuous Contracts stopped working, unable to add 2008

Postby tekram » 16 Apr 2011

IB Continuous Contracts stopped working, unable to add 2008 contracts which are unavailable from IB TWS.

It seems like many continuous contracts using IB feeds are not working both in MC7 beta and MCDT7 beta. You get gaps in data and the charts don't load.

I had that problem with beta1 as well. Try creating a new continuous contract- it worked for me.

Thank you. It may be more complicated than that. Some of the old collected data in the expired contracts may be corrupt and that lead to the strange gaps in the data. I tried deleting some data but that didn't fix it.

Do you have the necessary symbols in the QuoteManager? If data is corrupted, you can try reimporting data (or even just random data files) to see if the data is the issue. Let us know what you find.
