Hi, I am unable to use SC to place orders on stock CFDs. Index CFDs work fine, as per your instructions on the webpage. But stock CFDs do not. I saw similar posts in the past, but no obvious resolution. When I use the CFD symbol, IB returns a message to use the underlying stock for historical data. But if I use the underlying stock, then the trade will be executed against the stock, not the CFD. I am attempting to use this on the Russell 2k ETF - IWM. When executing via IB, the code in my SC trade log is IWM-CFD-SMART. This code returns the error when I try to load a chart: HD Request # 33 - Requesting 1 Day of data at 30 secs with ending Date-Time at 2014-07-23 16:18:52 for IWM-CFD-SMART-USD \| 2014-07-24 16:30:05 HD Request # 33 - Message from IB: CFD historical data is not provided; please submit a historical data request on the underlying stock: IWM@ARCA. IB Error Code: 2127. Request ID: 83. \| 2014-07-24 16:30:05 When I try to use IWM-CFD-SMART-USD-BAAVG, the chart is empty. Using just a DOM (which is fine, I really only want it for the automated OCO stops and target orders that SC provides), the DOM shows prices that start at 0 and increment by 0.1, with no live prices. Orders are not placed when I attempt a 1 lot to test it out, with an "improperly formatted price" error. Do you have any advice?
