the new version of the plugin has solved the issue, thank you so very much! to answer your previous question: no, i am not subscribed to any non-US stock data.
you know, you are extraordinary, tomasz. there is a small problem, i post about it, you reply within 5 minutes and then: within less than 30 minutes you code and post a new plugin to solve the problem although you could not replicate the issue on your side. i have not been to the mailing list in quite some time, because i have actually succeeded in taking the step from playing around with amibroker to becoming a successful trader with amibroker. i make my living now using your software and this would never have been possible without your amazing work. my deepest thanks go out to you, tomasz janeczko. dirk schreiber --- In [email protected], "Tomasz Janeczko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > There is a new version of the plugin that you can try: > http://www.amibroker.com/bin/ib181/IB.dll > > 1.8.1- newest version (beta), released October 22, 2008 > CHANGES: > + due to possible ambiguity of SMART routing when same symbol is traded with multiple currencies, IB now allows to specify CURRENCY > in a symbol.
