IB Future Data / Charting

Postby GTrader » 30 May 2014

When I try to chart futures (such as ESM4), using IB for data, it only returns a few bars. Stocks seem to work fine, it's only on futures. Any ideas?

Try quote manager, edit symbol, sessions tab and make sure that's correct.
Instrument itself, when creating chart set session to default.
Lastly, shut down IB and MC and restart.

Does the data shown on the chart match what your chart instrument settings specify?

With kind regards,

I re-added the contract in QuoteManager using the lookup functionality. It fixed it but I'm not sure why as it had the same settings but whatever works.

Thanks for the help.
