Currently I can get stock quotes fine on ensign using an IB feed. The question is is it possible to get streaming realtime forex charts on ensign using IB feed. Currently I havent been able to figure it out. Whoever has the answer is da man!

Here is a useful link to use for many Ensign questions:

http://www.ensignsupport.com/cgi-bin/ensign/bb.cgi

Go there and type forex in the search box. Here is one of the answers that came up:

Question:

I intend to trade Forex, in US/Eur and am using IB for my datafeed. What would be the symbol for the US/EUR for Ensign?

Answer:

IB Forex symbols are entered in Ensign as this format: EUR/USD
That will be the symbol on Ideal. Append a dash at the end to track from IdealPro: EUR/USD-
If you want to plot the bid for the Forex (recommended) then append (Bid) to the symbol: EUR/USD-(Bid)
The CME currency symbol is EUR U5 which is the same as the 6E U5 symbol on eSignal.
