Order rejection for ES-future trade with IB

Postby aiti » 09 Feb 2022

If I try to trade ESH2 (ES March 22 - future contract) from MC-chart to Interactive brokers I get every order rejected.
As seen on the screenshot of the messages it seems to be a problem of the expiration date. This happens only with ESH2, all other symbols are working fine.

I am working with MultiCharts64 Version 14.0 Release (Build 21978).
The above told happens on my Laptop.
I have the same installation on my Desktop and there the ESH2 is tradeable without problems.
So I copied the databases from the desktop to the laptop - but the problem is still there.

Does anyone have an idea to fix this?

Hello aiti,

This message usually means that the instrument has incorrect parameters.
Please re-add the instrument from the data provider:
QuoteManager -> Instrument -> Add Symbol -> From Data Source -> Interactive Brokers.
Then disconnect the broker profile, delete the Symbol Mapping lines for the problematic symbols, connect broker profile and add the correct Symbol Mapping.
