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

["emp62" <emp62@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

yes what I have done once is rename IB.dll to IBold.dll before downloading the new plugin, which I think is where the problem started.  Later I removed the file IBold.dll from the plugin directory and even removed IB.dll but the duplicate "interactive Brokers" data source line remained. So then I just reinstalled Amibroker as a whole since on that machine I use it for IB trading only.

regards, Ed

  Hello,

  If you see "interactive Brokers" twice in the data source list it may mean that you have
  2 copies of IB plugin instead of one. When installing the plugin you must ensure that
  you OVERWRITE old version and only one copy exits inside Plugins subfolder
  (Windows  creates "Copy of IB.dll" when doing copy-paste of files so make sure you OVERWRITE
  old version).

    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
