Hello, Auto Trading interface is NOT the data plugin .
Plugin is completely SEPARATE from auto-trading interface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use IB data and use different trading platform and you can use IB for trading and different data source. These two are not connected in any way. Since auto-trading interface was NOT updated recently it does NOT understand the "-USD" ending you are putting in the symb variable.

I added this to the symbolname: symb = Name() + "-SMART-STK-USD"; still X was not sent. Any idea how to solve this? thanks, Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Tomasz Janeczko To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Re: Interactive Brokers plugin 1.8.1 - a problem back filling Hello, Did you read the release notice? If you are using ANY non-US dollar denominated symbols you need to specify the currency. This is so because IB now REQUIRES to specify currency to resolve ambuiguity between same symbols traded with different currencies. If you don't specify currency, the US DOLLAR will be automatically used by the plugin. If you are using any EURO or other non-US currency you need to specify it. If you provide symbols you have problems with I will tell you how you should amend the symbols to specify currency.
