  • .efs orders to IB quit working?

    I was using eSignal 8.0 with an older plug-in for IB. All has been working fine since 8.0 came out (minus high volume lock-ups).
    Suddenly I get an error when the program tries to trade STOCKS (futures work okay). "IB Error: need to specify the currency". IB hasn't been of any help & probably just won't support an older plug-in. Has anyone else had this happen real recently?
    I loaded up IB's new plug-in and it would not send sell orders, only buys. So, I had to upgraded to 10.2 to fix that. 10.2 has presented a whole new slew of challenges....

    Hello kdh05,

    Since upgrading to 10.2 with the new plug-in, are the EFS functions working properly for you?

    If you are experiencing other problems unrelated to the broker integration, please post your PC specs and Page file to the eSignal forum so our support staff and engineers can test your particular setup. Depending on what you are doing in your page, there may be some suggestions we can make to help reduce the freezing occurrences.

      Yes, the EFS trades are working now with 10.2, even at least sometimes, while the screen is frozen. They must be running in the background.
      I've been informed that 10.2 does not work as well with my Pentium 4 system.
      It's been suggested that I go back to 8.0, which is fine with me. But, IB's new plug-in doesn't work with 8.0. And their old plug-in doesn't seem to work with any esignal version anymore (as of 3 days ago; weird).

      I'm using a Pentium 4, 2.4ghz, 800fsb, 1g ram (just ordered 2 more gig), geforce mx 440-8x graphics card.
      I'm not sure what you want on Page File. But, watching the task manager, my PF usage was significantly down with 10.2 over 8.0 (down from around 600mb to 400mb). But, the cpu was too busy.
