Hey all,

does anyone here successfully make use of InteractiveBrokers and SierraChart to Chart IDEAL PRO Quotes I am getting really frustrated.

I think I am doing everything right, still SC is not plotting any graphs of the IDEALPRO
=> EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO <=

Would be really greatful if someone could give me a hint on how to solve this dilemma.

Cheers,

I don't think that your problem has anything to do with Sierra charts. IB don't allow historical data for IdealPro, so you can't even look at a chart with their TWS interactive charts, so I guess that you've got no chance with Sierra.

You are using the right symbol and I can chart it with no problem at all.

Do you have the correct trading permissions with IB?

that's odd, I have the necessary trading permissions, but can't view any idealpro charts at all. Can you see them with TWS ? Or only Sierra ?

Thanks for your replies,

I am sure that it is somehow possible to retrieve the data from IB's TWS -> there are few frontend trading tools that can use the IDEALPRO feed.
I am sure that I have the trading permission and I am sure that I am receiving the feed in my TWS.
I know that it sounds odd, but I just can't understand why I cant graph the chart.
In case someone else knows what to do, don't hesitate, I am still open for suggestions.

Cheers,

Here is an example from IdealPro yesterday

In the past I know people have had to remove and renew the entitlement to IdealPro. Maybe that is the problem?

Thanks for your response again,

I never meant to question your statement above, however, interesting to see the proof.

I am sure that there is a reasonable explanation for this problem. However, I am stunned by the fact that it is not working for me. I just checked my IB account again, the results are as follows:

Market Data Subscriptions
+FOREX
--IB FX
--B FOREX

Trading Permissions:
+IB FOREX

All of them are checked.... however I cannot uncheck them.
In case you know why, please let me know.

Now... concerning the SC Version:

You are running v54
I am running v56

Any idea if there could be a bug in v56?

Thanks for your input.

Do you get the quotes on TWS?

Have you subscribed to SeirraCharts?
