Hi, I am not getting the open position updating in Sierra Chart for an IB CFD. The chart normally shows orders and positions ok (so I know this is working). However when using a CFD receiving a message back from IB for the correct symbol seems to be the problem, and thus in the spreadsheet and the chart no open position is shown. (But it does show an attached stop order. So this is working well) As the trading is actually working I know I have followed all the instructions to set this up correctly. attached log message. Interactive Brokers | Received position. Trade Account: UXXXX. Symbol: EUR.AUD-CFD--AUD | 2019-07-05 11:11:56.709 Note: as the chart is set up to read data from IB, then actually trade the CFD, this seems to be working but The Symbol sent back EUR.AUD-CFD--AUD is unusual given the chart is set up for EUR.AUD-CASH-IDEALPRO/EUR-CFD-SMART-AUD Additionally when show order fills on the chart is ticked it actually shows the little tag on the chart. As IB Australia is changing its rules around leverage and CFDs etc. I suspect you might get more requests similar to this and another post I see on this forum. Have you come across this previously or have a solution? (I know IB is a pain) thanks Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-07-05 09:43:42
