Why can't I receive U.S. stock data from Interactive Brokers?

Postby samwjwj » 21 Sep 2023

Why can't I receive U.S. stock data from IB(Interactive Brokers), but I can receive forex data from IB?
I called Interactive Brokers and they said my U.S. stock data subscription is correct. Where might the problem be? It seems that about a year ago, I could receive U.S. stock data.Can you help me?

Hello samwjwj,

Make sure you’re using the latest MultiCharts and IB TWS/Gateway version to ensure compatibility with the latest IB API.
The latest MultiCharts release can be downloaded here.

After the update, apply the following setting in IB TWS/Gateway: Global Configuration > API > Settings > in the "Send instrument-specific attributes for dual-mode API client in" drop-down box select “instrument timezone

After that add the required symbols in MultiCharts, create charts for them and reload (View -> Reload) if necessary.

samwjwj,

Please try unchecking the "Launch Trader Workstation at Start" box in the IB data feed settings if you have it checked.
It's in QuoteManager -> Tools -> Data Sources -> Interactive Brokers
Then restart all MultiCharts apps and IB TWS.

If that doesn't help, please plot any stock chart, reload it and send us logs via the main MultiCharts window -> Help -> Feedback.
In the Feedback window select the following options:
Attach a screenshot;
Attach log files…;
Open workspaces…;
Upload collected data to Help Desk;
uncheck other options and click Send.
