Hello,
If you see "interactive Brokers" twice in the data source
list it may mean that you have
2 copies of IB plugin instead of one. When installing the
plugin you must ensure that
you OVERWRITE old version and only one copy exits inside
Plugins subfolder
(Windows creates "Copy of IB.dll" when doing
copy-paste of files so make sure you OVERWRITE
old version).
Best
regards,

hi,
"In TWS, select
Configure -> API -> Enable Active X and Socket
clients
Also enter 127.0.0.1 in TWS,
Configure->API->Trusted IP addresses menu to prevent "Allow
incoming connection?" dialog."
now you will not have to click yes twice. If
this causes the freezing .... I would not think so.
Maybe also go to File, Database settings and
click on the pull down menu "Data Source". It should have
"InteractiveBrokers". For some reason
however 1 of my machines yesterday showed this source twice. Even
though I downloaded the latest plugin and removed the old one it still
loaded the wrong plugin. When you go to Tools, Plugins, the
interactivebrokers data plugin should show 1.6.6.
I solved the plugblem on that particular
machine to remove Amibroker as a whole and install it again. But I could
easily do that because on that machine I only use it for trading on
IB,
Ed

Problem - Help needed: SOS
Hello,
I have been battling a problem and need to share it in
case someone out
there has any suggestion or a way to solve
it.
My ABrT freezes so often, even when I only have one ticker and
just the
price chart. I have tried all combination ( of versions) of
IB.DLL and
TWS, but the problem continues.
My hardware is
Pentuin 4, 3.0 ghtz (nomral clocking), and 1 meg ram on
Intel
Motherboard. OS is Windows XP, SP2 (OEM) and connection is high
speed
DSL. THe driver for the ethernet card is the most recent from
Marvell.
The connection troubleshoot passes all the tests
There is no
problem with the internet connection because the Ib TWS
runs super
fine and emails etc work perfectly.
When I connect with TWS, I
accept the incoming connection to TWS by
clicking on "yes" twice. (The
AB web says will connect automatically
but that is not what happens
with me) THe connection happens and chart
will back fill, then update
one or two more bars and then AB will
simply freeze.
I have no
memory managers
The connection green light never stablizes. It
blinks a few times, and
then I will be connected but frozen! I freeze
even with backfill set to
one day.
I have been battling with
this for more than a month. AB support thinks
the problem is at my
end.
I have tried every thing suggested by AB support and anything
else I
could think of. No viruses, HD defragged, Spybot Cleaned,
Registry
Cleaned etc.
So, has anyone had similar problems.
Please share with me how you
resolved it, if you were able
to.
Any suggestion will be much
appreciated.
TIA
Nand
