All limit or stop orders will be sent as market orders.</div><br><br>#** '''''Symbol Dictionary Tab: '''''<br>If the data source is different from the execution gateway, it is possible that they do not use the same symbol for the same contract. In this situation, the chart, because it is plotted from the data source, will send an order using the data source’s symbol. The execution gateway will not understand the data source’s symbol and will reject the signal. Symbol Dictionary solves this problem by matching the symbol from the data source to the symbol from the execution gateway. The table has two columns. Input the symbol from the data source under the Chart column. Input the symbol from FXCM under the Currency Column.<br><br>#* '''''Broker Plug-In Settings for Interactive Brokers TWS'''''<br><br>#** '''''General:''''' <br>By default, MultiCharts disables auto trading immediately if connection with the execution gateway is lost. However, in some cases, short interruptions can be acceptable because it doesn’t affect the strategy. The disconnection may also be a scheduled disconnection by the execution gateway, and the intention is to have auto trading on when the connection is reestablished. The '''Connection''' setting keeps auto trading on unless the disconnection lasts longer than the time period specified.<br>When TWS loses its connection with MultiCharts while auto trading is on, MultiCharts will try to reconnect with TWS every 10 seconds until the connection is established or auto trading is turned off.<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: If TWS is closed, MultiCharts cannot start TWS and automatically log into TWS for the user.</div><br>MultiCharts will not reconnect with TWS in the following scenarios:

For the correct settings consult the system administrator.<br>The '''Order Settings''' section is for specifying Time in Force, Settling Firm, Clearing Account, and All or None Execution settings for the orders. Time in Force determines the life span of the order before the order is cancelled. The Settling Firm and Clearing Account fields are institutional settings. Institutional account holders should contact the broker for the correct settings. All or None Execution determines whether partial fills in entry and exit orders are permitted.<br><br>#** '''''Symbol Dictionary Tab:'''''<br><br>If the data source is different from the execution gateway, it is possible that they do not use the same symbol for the same contract.
