Well on Weds I said SC was in a delicate situation looks like I used the wrong adjective! Dangerous looks more appropriate, worrying your clients that they may need to change broker and/or data feed may actually mean they change their charting package, as illustrated by the last few posts. I...

Finally got through to IB tech support today and after a long phone call I think the issue is sorted....I use TWS in Mosaic mode, 1 Tab contains a scanner in which I had saved the pre defined US Movers. This regularly offers over 100 stock price quotes and occasionally a message pops up offering...

Quintrix thanks for posting this I hadn’t spotted this on the support board.....the relationship between SC and CQG has been strained for several years, and not much better with TT either! This is just IMO....Ultimately it seems SC wants all its customers to use its own or Denali data feed, no...

I use AMP with SierraChart via a CQG feed. I believe that shortly if not already SC will no longer be free thru AMP. I already pay SC direct as that allows me to run 2 copies of the program, so I have futs data from AMP/CQG and stocks data from IB. By paying 6 months up front SC costs me around...

Thanks will try that

Hi, today I experienced a TWS Booktrader issue. After working normally, and apparently randomly, the bid and ask price within the Quote Panel and the bid and ask columns within the ladder froze. The Last (price) within both the quote panel and the ladder continued to update normally. I switched...

No, not tried that

I ve found Quantower very resource hungry. 1 copy of SierraChart with 1 copy of Quantower and if I try to open anything else I get a not enough available memory warning, 8 gb fitted. Same machine runs 2 copies of SierraChart and TWS no problem.

Use Booktrader in armed mode, 1 click trading no order tickets or Transmit buttons

Hi LLM, a fellow fly fisher? I have only ever used SC via TT or CQG, changing between the 2 because of various margin or order type issues with whichever broker I was with at the time. Never tried their own data feed but I do think that’s what’ll happen eventually if I want to stay with...

Every day! No probs

Ha, I used to run Sierra Chart via Dorman/TT and that also had issues. Whilst SC are always moaning about CQG it works pretty well for me, when I find a release that everything works on including my custom studies I stick with it until SC force me to update

DS, I’m also with AMP/CQG for futs and had been using IB TWS for stocks. Reading the SC documentation a few weeks back I spotted that I could run a second copy of SC for no extra cost. So at the end of last month I asked AMP to stop my SC thru them and I switched to paying for it myself. All...

Yes you can send cash. As a non US citizen IB is a great way to send or withdraw funds to another US broker who only accepts USD. Need to remember to square off any FX positions that you create in the process.

I’m also with IB experiencing the same frustration, but have worked out something that works on occasion. In premarket research I always note if a stock is not sortable, and then find a stock that is and has some correlation. EG: RIOT and MARA both crypto plays. RIOT not usually available with...

J Medved, thanks again sounds like MT would work for me.

J Medved thanks for replying. I’m familiar with that setup just done it for SC and its identical.....so in terms of level 1 data would you be confident in saying I could trade off a Medved chart thru IB api and not have any issues with orders and fills, just buy and sell limits and stop limits...

Guys, I’m currently in the process of adding day trading stocks to my day trading of futures. For the futs I use SierraChart and have done for 8-10 years, currently via AMP/CQG. I am really happy with SC and they allow me to have another feed for free. However my stocks broker is IB and SC is...

Looking for advice after a frustrating day! I use IB and again today MARA and RIOT are showing as not shortable, a red dot on the order entry window. But to make it much worse I nailed the tops in CLPS and LODE only to get the ‘ we are looking for stock ‘ message. Clearly in a fast moving mkt I...

Yes! If you’re a day trader and went long just after the open then not late to the party. Unfortunately MARA and RIOT both not shortable with IB when I needed, had to make do with some out of EBON and SOS instead.
