Update Sierra Chart to the latest prerelease 2536:
Software Download: Fast Update

See if that helps with the issue of not seeing the actual positions in Trade >> Trade Positions Window from Interactive Brokers.


We did not identify any problem on the Sierra Chart side but we see one scenario where there could potentially be a problem from Interactive Brokers, where the security definition data is not being returned for a symbol and prevents a position for futures from being shown in Sierra Chart. Since it is not possible to determine the symbol correctly. With this new version the position will be displayed with the symbol resolved to the extent possible.

However, effectively the same problem can still exist anyway because now the symbol will not be correct.

This assumption is wrong:
What I want is for SC to fix its integration problems with IBKR.

There are no problems with the integration. The integration has always been fine. But the problems are on the Interactive Brokers side and not resolvable.
