Hi,
My system has been trying to place trades on the september Euro futres contract and the order and position tracking log shows the orders have been rejected as no security definition has been found fo the request. I've checked everythig over and I cannot see any reason for the orders to be rejected.
Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks

Re: No security definition has been found fo the request.
Hm that's wierd, judging from the screenshots it looks correct. Don't know what causes this, but since support is closed today, some suggestions:
Have you tried removing the symbol mapping and re-add it?
Is it possible to trade 6EU2 if you make a MC chart or DOM based on the IB TWS contract (so not the ASCII mapping)? (If this works, it might be a symbol mapping issue)
Can you trade 6EU2 directly through IB TWS?
Btw, an easy way to check the symbol mapping settings is to open the chart trader on your ASCII instrument. If it's mapped correctly, you'll see the bid/ask of the instrument from IB.

Re: No security definition has been found fo the request.
Splint, please reply to the questions posted above by Josh.
Are you able to place orders on "IB data to IB broker" chart? Can you see asks and bids on the manual trading panel?
What version of MultiCharts do you run?

Re: No security definition has been found fo the request.
I just removed and readded the symbol mapping. Haven't encountered this problem since. I didn't try manual trading. I'm using version 7.4 Build 4953.
Just having another attempt to reply to this thread, I have no idea how the post from 5n3h3t9b1 found it's way in to this thread.

Re: No security definition has been found fo the request.
Sometime I have the same problem (see: http://www.multicharts.com/discussion/v ... =1&t=10484), the main values to check are the values stored in the Broker Profile (not in QM). You should have one more exchange listed: MIBSX and you should also check that the future expiry is correct in the Broker profile mapping.
Re: No security definition has been found fo the request.
The values in the broker profiles were correct, the only discrepancy I noticed were a few of the expiration dates were off by one day which is alomst certainly a time zone isssue.
MIBSX found it way into ZR and 6E when I re-added the contracts in symbol mapping. I'm not familar with MIBSX, which exchange is that? Are any other symbols meant to be associated with it?
