Post From: CQG data IB for trade

I was curious. So I set used my source as my AMP CQG & set up the server settings as per 5. This is a free SC on AMP account. I set up my destination as an IB instance with my normal username/password. I edited the destination directories GlobalSymbolSettings.XML using exactly the Sierra settings but with HSI symbol changes and although a Custom category appeared, I didn't get a symbol (I'd changed the old futures symbol to xxxHSI & it still showed but as xxxHSI.) So I tried Futures instead of custom. Not there. So I copied the xxxHSI settings block, got rid of the xxx's, deleted the first line (service code) and removed two lines from the end that seemed to be duplicated by the lines I planned to add. So I got rid of: <service-code>interactive_brokers.trading</service-code>
<realtime-data-client>default_primary</realtime-data-client> <symbol-query-options-realtime-data-client>default_primary</symbol-query-options-realtime-data-client> Then I added lines from SC's settings to the bottom. The new lines start at <source-data-symbol <settings>
<symbol>HSI-######-HKFE</symbol> <historical-chart-symbol>HS?##</historical-chart-symbol> <use-pattern-matching-characters>true</use-pattern-matching-characters> <contract-months>FGHJKMNQUVXZ</contract-months> <description>Hang Seng Stock Index Futures - HKFE</description> <category>Futures</category> <value-format-code>1</value-format-code> <tick-size>1</tick-size> <currency-value-per-tick>1</currency-value-per-tick> <rollover-method>Method11</rollover-method> <rollover-input-1>1</rollover-input-1> <sc-data-symbol>HS?##</sc-data-symbol> <sc-data-srvcode>HongKongFutures.Exchange</sc-data-srvcode> <service-code></service-code> <source-data-symbol>F.US.HSIJ19</source-data-symbol> <source-data-multiplier>1.0</source-data-multiplier> <generic-sub-client-server-address>127.0.0.1:11094</generic-sub-client-server-address> <realtime-data-client>Generic_Sub_Clients</realtime-data-client> <historical-data-server>127.0.0.1:11095</historical-data-server> </settings> This version tries to connect to IB (for trading I assume) and protested that it wasn't open. And it connected to the source SierraChart and created a new data file from CQG data. So I'd say it worked. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-04-14 22:25:56
