thanks for your fast reply and I am sorry that IB
does not give any info. I installed it all and it is working fine now, at least
it just shorted X (United States Steel) and recognised the symbol and sent
the order just fine. Also the IB's data seems to be better now.
Auto-trading multiple stocks simultaneously now from 1 machine using Amibroker /
IB. Working very good,
rgds, Ed

Yes, you can't use controller version 1.2.0 because
Interactive Brokers now REQUIRES to specify currency
even for US symbols and you may thank Interactive
Brokers for yet again breaking existing codes.
They are really great with adding features in
non-backward compatible way without any word of caution of
warning.
Fortunatelly, I don't leave you alone with problems that
IB is generating. Version 1.2.1 of IBc that is released just
now
that hides this extra complexity and allows you to
continue using auto-trading without changes to your formula
(unless you are trading non-US markets)

ok thanks, so basicly I can not use auto
trading at this moment? Since even though I only trade US stocks the
IBController gives an error that the symbol is ambigeous,
thanks, Ed

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.

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
