I have discovered MC 8.7 is not working correctly with Interactive Brokers. Stocks will update correctly but Futures are displaying today's data but not storing today's data. As such, I now have gaps in my chart which Multicharts will not fill. I have had the same problem with some Forex contracts.
I have tried to resolve this error by doing a completely clean install (deleting all traces of MC and starting again by adding new contracts). I have tried 3 different PC's - all have the same problem.
I have now gone back to MC 8.0 (which is stable and works as designed) as 8.5 also had problems.
Anyone else experience these problems?

MC8.7 STILL DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH IB. Yes I have upgraded to the latest build. I am using the 64-bit version.Hello gregcccc,

Try adding the contract COILU3 yourself, for example. MC will not collect any historical data from IB for any futures contracts. Stocks are fine.

Please have a Live Chat session with the tech support. They can sort out everything for you.

Ok. After 3 hours of tech support we have a solution.
MC8.7 will not work with "Install TWS Latest" (939.2). This is now a TWS problem, not a MC8.7 problem.
If you want to get IB to work with 8.7 you need to use the following:
"Install TWS" . . . gives you 936.9g
Install the latest MC 8.7.7472
I'll be testing today but this appears to have solved the problem.
