QuoteTracker with IB, need help please

R

Rejuvenate

As a side note, I used FXCM's demo account with $50,000 (fake, demo only) and I was making anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 profit per day trading currencies. Sure would be be nice to get QuoteTracker going and give that a whirl. I'm also open to other software suggestions which would work with IB.

I'm trying to set up QuoteTracker 3.9.3A with Interactive Brokers so I can trade currencies. The IB account is set up and funded. I have IB's Java-based TWS open and I'm logged in. QuoteTracker is open and says it's connected, but I can't get it to show any data or real-time FX charts, even though it does show my cash balance and equity from TWS. TWS shows real-time charts. I followed QuoteTracker's website instructions and the part where they say "hit Initialize and you'll get a trading agreement,", I never had the Initialize button. Can someone please help me get fully connected? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Need help. Thanks!
 
I had the same problem when I first set up QuoteTracker. I don't have access to TWS at the moment so can't be specific about what you need to do. But in the TWS setup there's a box you need to click to allow data export. Keep checking all of the various configuration screens in TWS and eventually you'll find it.
 
Try TWS>configure>API>enable Active x and DDE clients; also Quote Tracker>options>data.

Also be aware that TWS doesn't work over the weekend, until Sunday at 5 PM EST.

I agree that it is worth it, Quote Tracker has helped me trade for years.
