Post From: No remote data in Trade Stats and attempting to download equity data from IB and SC not IqFeed

I am running IB trade service with SC futures data, SC Forex data, IB Forex data, and IqFeed equities data. If I open the IB instance, find an equity in the IqFeed Instance and open a new chart, then I see data in the chart. If I open the Orders and Positions, I see positions for the symbol but the columns are all zero. If I open an existing chartbook with several charts for the same symbol, I get "Downloading Historical Data..." overlaid on all the charts even though the charts are displaying and updating. The log has thousands of messages about IB Backfill as if it is trying to get the data from IB rather than the remote IqFeed. At other times I see messages that say that the SC realtime feed does not recognize the equity symbol (this is the case even though the chart shows (R) for the IqFeed and is updating correctly.. This may be related to a previous thread (4637) where the SC response claimed that there is no intention to fully support use of data from multiple instances, in direct contradiction to the documentation in "Using Multiple Services or Multiple Trading Accounts". In addition to not working in QuoteBoards or ASCIL, perhaps there is no intention to have remote data work in the Orders and Position window? If so, I really hope that someone will explain how one is supposed to trade effectively using a separate trade service and data from a remote instance. Is there any solution to the problem of SC getting confused and trying to get equity data from IB and SC when the only equity data I have is from IqFeed. |
