Hello,
Did you read the release notice?
If you are using
ANY non-US dollar denominated
symbols you need to specify the
currency.
This is so because IB now REQUIRES to specify currency to
resolve ambuiguity
between same symbols traded with different
currencies.
If you don't specify currency, the US DOLLAR will be
automatically used by the plugin.
If you are using any EURO or other
non-US currency you need to specify it.
If you provide symbols you
have problems with I will tell you how you should amend
the symbols to
specify currency.
Best regards,
Tomasz
Janeczko
