Hello,
There is a new version of the plugin that you can try:
http://www.amibroker.com/bin/ib181/IB.dll
1.8.1-
newest version (beta), released October 22, 2008
CHANGES:
+ due to
possible ambiguity of SMART routing when same symbol is traded with multiple
currencies, IB now allows to specify CURRENCY
in a symbol. The symbol
format is: SYMBOL-EXCHANGE-TYPE-CURRENCY.
+ all symbols that do not
have explicit currency specification use USD now (except forex).
The
default currency is USD and it is used nothing is specified as 4th part of
symbol. So for example MSFT gets internally resolved
to
MSFT-SMART-STK-USD
Please try it and please tell me if it helps (I
can't verify that because I did not have problems you and Joe were having, so
it is
come kind of guesswork).
Best regards,
Tomasz
Janeczko
