Re: [amibroker] AB Freezing Problem - Help needed: SOS

hi,

one thing you can add as explained in: http://www.amibroker.com/ib.html

"In TWS, select Configure -> API -> Enable Active X and Socket clients
Also enter 127.0.0.1 in TWS, Configure->API->Trusted IP addresses menu to prevent "Allow incoming connection?" dialog."

now you will not have to click yes twice. If this causes the freezing .... I would not think so.

Maybe also go to File, Database settings and click on the pull down menu "Data Source".  It should have "InteractiveBrokers".  For some reason however 1 of my machines yesterday showed this source twice.  Even though I downloaded the latest plugin and removed the old one it still loaded the wrong plugin.  When you go to Tools, Plugins, the interactivebrokers data plugin should show 1.6.6.  

I solved the plugblem on that particular machine to remove Amibroker as a whole and install it again. But I could easily do that because on that machine I only use it for trading on IB,

Ed

  Hello,

  I have been battling a problem and need to share it in case someone out 
  there has any suggestion or a way to solve it.

  My ABrT freezes so often, even when I only have one ticker and just the 
  price chart. I have tried all combination ( of versions) of IB.DLL and 
  TWS, but the problem continues. 

  My hardware is Pentuin 4, 3.0 ghtz (nomral clocking), and 1 meg ram on 
  Intel Motherboard. OS is Windows XP, SP2 (OEM) and connection is high 
  speed DSL. THe driver for the ethernet card is the most recent from 
  Marvell. The connection troubleshoot passes all the tests

  There is no problem with the internet connection because the Ib TWS 
  runs super fine and emails etc work perfectly.

  When I connect with TWS, I accept the incoming connection to TWS by 
  clicking on "yes" twice. (The AB web says will connect automatically 
  but that is not what happens with me) THe connection happens and chart 
  will back fill, then update one or two more bars and then AB will 
  simply freeze. 

  I have no memory managers

  The connection green light never stablizes. It blinks a few times, and 
  then I will be connected but frozen! I freeze even with backfill set to 
  one day. 

  I have been battling with this for more than a month. AB support thinks 
  the problem is at my end.

  I have tried every thing suggested by AB support and anything else I 
  could think of. No viruses, HD defragged, Spybot Cleaned, Registry 
  Cleaned etc.

  So, has anyone had similar problems. Please share with me how you 
  resolved it, if you were able to.

  Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

  TIA

  Nand
