Hello,
Auto Trading interface is NOT the data plugin
.
Plugin is completely SEPARATE from auto-trading
interface.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use IB data and use different trading
platform
and you can use IB for trading and different data
source.
These two are not connected in any way.
Since auto-trading interface was NOT updated recently it
does NOT understand the "-USD" ending you are putting in the symb
variable.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Interactive Brokers plugin 1.8.1 - a problem back filling
hi,
I use v1.8.1 right now and seems to have
problem with some US stocks while autotrading, It recognised BIDU and FSLR
but did not recognise X and POT. I added this to the
symbolname:
symb = Name() +
"-SMART-STK-USD";
still X was not sent. Any idea how to solve
this?
thanks, Ed

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
