MultiCharts...
on Server Data Mode, do not select "Download Missing Historical Data".
At least you will have the live data to draw your real time chart.
for starter, you can use the tws demo system
it is days old data... but everything works just like the real thing, and you don't even need to register or open an account.
this is my set up
tws 886.5
java 1.6.0_05
us server
os win xp
multicharts Version 4.0 Beta 1 (Build 1440)
I haven't got any flat bars.
whatever is causing the problem... I hope you guys (IB) figured it out before the problem gets to my charts too.
The micro switch landing is worn, allowing the switch lever to bounce after you have depressed the button.
If you are real cheap, you can open the mouse, add a shim to the contact... and that should fix it.
