Chart trading

Postby plaforte » 20 Oct 2013

Hello, I have a chart with chart trading enabled and IB broker connected and green light. I can place order by dragging for example the STP icon to the chart, that works. But, when I right click on the chart the pop up menu does not display the option for "Place Order". What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you for your help

Which version are you using?

Does restarting make any difference?

TJ, restarting does not change it. I am using MC64 version 8.5 (build 6851).

thank you

That is strange.
If the function was working before, and does not work now, something must be corrupted.
Usually a restart of the computer can reset everything.

Please contact tech support through Live Chat. They can connect to your computer and do an real time diagnosis.

Did you Right Click on the chart?

The order option is on the top of the list.

TJ, yes I right click and all I get is the usual menu but it starts with "Format Window" and not with "Place order".
