Hi. I want to submit auto trades into IB and keep using FXCm data. Being that the symbols are unmatched, how would I submit to ib and use fxcm data. ex eur/usd in fxcm is eur.usd-idealpro-cash. thanks |

Hi. I followed the directions step-by-step. Sierra1-my original one has SC Forex. I then installed and configured Sierra_IB with IB trading service. I get stuck in step4 of "Sharing data between...." When I click find symbol, the instance drop box is grayed out and only has the value of "Interactive Broker (this instance). How do I pull any chart using sierra 1 as the source. Thanks

Thanks that worked. I have a question regarding using fxcm as data and autotrading with IB. Let' take EUR.USD (eur.usd-idealrpo-cash in IB). If I a basing my buy triggers from fxcm data (ex adx(x) >20 then submit buyorder) but submitting a limit order using ib's data-like bid/offer ) Do I have to have the chart of eur.usd open using fxcm instance AND eur.usd-idealpro-cash IB instance chart open as well? |

As a followup question to post 5, if I want to create an indicator for a 60m chart based on 5/10/30m timeframe, I realize that I need to open 3 charts. If I trade x 50 Fx tickers, I am now looking at 150 charts open. Given the use of fxcm SC Forex data, am I close to some limit (performance issues or otherwise) that will make autotrading not advisable? Thanks.

Please reference post #6 regarding having 150 charts open(charts 1,2,3,4 referenced by chart 5 for a price/overlay study PER ticker) I was wondering if there is a way to set up only about 5 charts which would do 1 ticker, then programatically load the next ticker at a time, let's say every 10 seconds,--possible to load ticker, calculate the indicators, fire off limit orders, then go on to next ticker ... |

It is possible to programmatically change the symbol of the chart. You need to use this ACSIL variable: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html#scDataFile Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
