  • IB: what is your symbology pop-up?

    I can't get the IB plug-in to work.

    Using the latest TWS, I can log-in but any trade is rejected because of the wrong symbology.

    My input in the Symbology pop-up is:

    IB Symbol = ES2003
    eSignal Symbol = ES Z3
    Exchange = GLOBEX (but the pop-up always show SMART when I check it through Edit)
    Expiry = 12

    What is wrong with my pop-up input?

    * Ver 7.5 build 619 10/06/03

    * IB 7.5 Plug-in.exe

    * I can log in in TWS. Latest Build 809.8

    * Ticket is a plain vanilla '' Buy '' after I press the Bid button, from the standard '' Attach Order Ticket '' button.

    The error message is:

    ''IB did not accept this order.
    The likely cause of this is a mismatch between the symbol and the exchange or security type of the instrument. etc''

    Even though I input ''GLOBEX'' in the pop-up and save it, clicking on edit will show that GLOBEX has been replaced by ''SMART''.

    Cheers.

    Andrei

    P.S.: I have tried with Esignal IB Trade Input window but it is the same: ''SMART'' always appear even if I input GLOBEX.
    Same trade rejection, same error message.

    Hi, I had plenty of prob with the IB plug in ..... symbol conversion is definitly one of them, try this :

    esignal : ES Z3

    IB:Symbol ES
    Expiry 122003
    market GLOBEX

    it could be working .....
