Re: [amibroker] IB plugin and Forex

Hello,

The problems you are having are because of specific nature of IDEALPRO
market. Interactive Brokers does not transmit regular "trade" and "volume" events on 
currencies traded on IDEALPRO, it sends only bid and ask (along with bid/ask sizes).
Plugin requires "trade" and "volume" events to be reported by interactive brokers
to operate properly and it does not get them for IDEALPRO.

It is different when using IDEAL market because for that market IB sends appropriate updates.
Unfortunatelly spreads on IDEAL are of magnitude higher than on IDEALPRO.

Temporary and not perfect workaround is to use "IDEAL" market instead 
(but spreads there are order of magnitude higher).

In the next version of IB plugin I will make a special handling of IDEALPRO market
so these differencies are addressed.

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
