I am glad I could help and that it has solved the problems for
you.
I am sorry for little harsh tone of my initial response, but
as you understand I was working under pressure
to address these recent TWS changes as soon as possible.
Not mentioning crazy times on the markets.
I am fine myself, but would prefer less volatility
:-)
I hope you all navigate fine through these wild
waters...

Brokers plugin 1.8.1 - a problem back filling
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

Re: Interactive Brokers plugin 1.8.1 - a problem back

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
