MC using IB as datasource

Postby superpaul » 04 Jan 2022

Hi Guys

I am new in MC. I tried to setup IB as my data source.. I have installed IB Gateway on my computer and also setting the port the same as MC data source setting.

I can see the login in IB gateway it's successfully connect to the server.

But on my MC, it did not show any data..

Any hints and help from experience users ? How you can get data from IB ?

Also how I can get historical data (minutes) more than 1 years ?

Much appreciated.

This is my capture screen.

I open the Quote Manager.. to add TSLA using IB datasource.. The capture screen show the connection is succesful and the ticket has been added.

I then open MC.. add a chart window , select IB / TSLA but the chart window is blank..

Not sure what I have done wrong...

Can you open the IB Trader Workstation and see if you can open the TLSA chart?
