Coming up to the holiday I decided to try again but with a completely clean install for both CQG & IB instances. My tendency to experiment, use soft links for directories onto a ram disk plus the fact that I run Sierra Chart under Wine 3.0 on Linux may have contributed to the original issues :) Start two brand new folders in Wine's Drive C level. Both using a clean download of 1898. SC_CQG and SC_IB, both log in to Sierra with my old level 3 password Both have only AlertSounds, Data, DTC, Graphics, SierraChart_64.exe & SierraChartStudies_64.dll to start with. Working from: Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time Both initially logged in but no files added. set hist days to download to 10 to speed things up. Will only use HSI as its common to both accounts. Step 5. Source settings https://i.imgur.com/tHTAGew.png Step 10. Given prior issues I backed up GlobalSymbolSettings.xml & in the active copy deleted all settings blocks that mentioned HSI. The backup will let me source them if I can't use the raw version from the web page step 12. Step 12. I will initially use no pattern matching to be sure of a simple linkage between symbols ... so initial version looks like: https://i.imgur.com/sjS2oSf.png --- So far so good ... filled historical and intraday data in out of hours condition. turned trade sim off. turned chart trade on. https://i.imgur.com/ks63t9R.png --- Things to test: will it fill accurately while the market is open. can I place orders on ib from ib instance. 1. normally you can place trades on ib out of hours (but not on cqg). Initial attempt to place trade from ib instance resulting in no trade being placed. Possibly I need to give a complete symbol including HKEX ... will amend symbol settings. Changed symbol to HSI-201904-HKFE and order placed ok and cancelled ok. Will now wait for market to open (2 hours) so that I can test, fill from cqg, data from cqg (millisecond timestamped tick data vs ib 5 second or snapshot), and placing & cancelling ib order while market is open. If that all works I'll try changing symbols back to use pattern matching. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-04-17 23:21:14
