Yes, you can't use controller version 1.2.0 because Interactive Brokers now
REQUIRES to specify currency
even for US symbols and you may thank Interactive Brokers for yet again
breaking existing codes.
They are really great with adding features in non-backward compatible way
without any word of caution of warning.
Fortunatelly, I don't leave you alone with problems that IB is generating.
Version 1.2.1 of IBc that is released just now
that hides this extra complexity and allows you to continue using
auto-trading without changes to your formula
(unless you are trading non-US markets)

ok thanks, so basicly I can not use auto trading at this moment? Since
even though I only trade US stocks the IBController gives an error that the
symbol is ambigeous,
thanks, Ed

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.

hi,
I use v1.8.1 right now and seems to have problem with some US stocks
while autotrading, It recognised BIDU and FSLR but did not recognise X and
POT. I added this to the symbolname:
symb = Name() + "-SMART-STK-USD";
still X was not sent. Any idea how to solve this?
thanks, Ed

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.
