I am using
MC 4.0 beta 2 (build 1573).
Zen Fire Feed for data.
Interactive Brokers for trading
Vista Ultimate (64)
I would like to automate my trades. I am having difficulty getting this to work. The error is returned:
"No Security Definition has been found for the request"
I am thinking that this has something to do with the symbols dictionary, but I am not able to add symbols or edit symbols. Is there anything else that I should do?

if you are using zen demo... the symbol available are limited.
if you are testing out autotrade... try IB demo system...

Tech support won't be back until Monday.
The basic autotrade works. Many people are testing their strategies right now, so it is not a matter of MC not working.
Please feel free to let us know what you are trying to achieve, and what you have done to receive that error message. Maybe some of us can help to get you started... Don't want you to miss a weekend's worth of testing.

TJ,
I figured out how to get IB to work in automation with MC. I knew that the problem was with matching up the data feed symbol with the underlying IB symbol. The symbols table is a little weird when you go to setup the IB automated trading. I have to right click on the fields to change symbols/exchanges, etc, but it worked.
