Issues with Connection to Interactive Brokers (IB)

Postby met68 » 06 Feb 2014

I have just downloaded and installed MC.net SE 64bit.

I can connect using my CQG credentials provided by AMP and everything seems to work fine.

I now would like to be able to use MC for my IB account also. I want to connect using IB Gateway.

When I connect in this way, MC confirms, that the connection is established. I can add a symbol via IB also.

BUT, when I try and open a DOM trader window or a chart, nothing happens (despite the fact that the IB connection status light is green).

Can you help please?

I think I have just solved this myself. Had to untick "Connect to TWS" in the Symbol data list. This is not needed, as I am already connected to IB Gateway. Now seems to work fine. Have yet to try placing an order, but will get back, if this poses any problems.
