Can't plot historical SNFE Bond Futures

Postby Kaos » 16 Dec 2013

Hi All,

I am using IB with Multicharts 64 (v8.7 Build 7634)

I can plot intraday bars in IB.
I can plot realtime data in Multicharts as it is being collected by quotemanager
but I get errors when I try and download/plot historical data in Multicharts.

The futures symbols are XTZ3, XTH4, YTZ3, YTH4
The futures symbols are listed on SNFE

The error is
Data request for YTZ3 SNFE FUT AUD 100 1 Minute Trade [ 09/15/2013 14:00:00.000 - 09/19/2013 13:59:00.000 ] (Id= 1000262)
[12/16/2013 18:12:02] TWS warning message: Id= 1000262; code= 2121; description= Warning: YT product is trading on the basis other than currency price

I get the same warning for XT symbol.

I know Australian Bonds are priced at (100 - interest rate) and they do have a variable tick value but I am not concerned about this. I just want to get the intraday data into Multicharts.

Does anyone know how to get historical SNFE Bonds data from IB into Multicharts?

Thanks
Paul

Hi All,

Problem solved... Not sure why but it works now :-)

I just upgraded to latest version of Multicharts v8.8 this morning and in IB I went to
Configure > API > Precautions
and I ticked the checkbox "Bypass Called Bond Warning for API Orders"

Just thought I would post this if someone else needs the solutionCheers
