Install the MetaServer demo from www.traders-soft.com
Open the TS2000i Global Server in Off-line mode.
Click Tools / Run Setup Wizard.
When asked about your data collection choose "Real-Time/Delayed".
Choose "DBC OnLine Subserver".
Say "No" to HistoryBank.
Finish the Wizard. Global Server will start. Stay in "Off-Line" mode for
now.
Click Insert / Symbol / Add From Dictionary.
Type ES (in caps) in the blank "find" box and click "Find". (Only one
answer should come up)
Highlight the ES line and click "Add". If the symbol does not go over to
the "Symbols to add" side, the date range must be adjusted. Just set the
end date to one month later and it should work. This is a bug as far as I'm
concerned.
Click "Add".
Set "Template to Use" to "Future History Template" and click "OK".
Close down the Global Server.
Log into your IB account.
Get the ES quote running in the TWS screen. (Getting the ES quote running is
not really necessary, but I like to do it so you can compare the quotes in
TWS to the data in TS2000i).
Click Configure / API / Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients.
(Make sure "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" has a check mark by it. This
gives MetaServer permission to collect data from TWS)
Minimize the TWS screeen (Don't close it)
Start MetaServer
Click the green arrow icon to "start data collection". The data on the
MetaServer screen should be updating now.
Maximize the TWS screen. The TWS screen will now ask if you want to allow
the connection. Click "Yes".
Minimize the TWS screeen (Don't close it)
Open Global Server in Real-Time mode.
On the "Symbol Portfolio" Tab, highlight the ES H3 (or whatever ES symbol is
there) in black. Right click on the symbol name and choose "Connect
Symbol". The line should now read "Connected" for the ES symbol.
Go to the "Performance" tab. The "Quotes Received" total should be getting
larger, showing that the Global Server is collecting data.
Open TS2000i, create a workspace and a chart window, and chart the ES
symbol. It should update in real-time.

Subject: 2000i data from IB
Hello,
Has anyone has successfully got data into 2000i from IB?
If so, I'd appreciate any guidance in accomplishing that task.
Regards,
Tom
