disciple33 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm using Interactive Brokers as my intraday quote source. Sometimes a few symbols aren't updating on the charts nor watchlist, even though my TWS window shows streaming quotes. Recent problem symbols: GDX, GDXJ, UNG. I changed quote source to TD Ameritrade and that restored streaming quotes. However, when I switched back IB quotes again stopped for the above symbols.

Jerry Medved Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I checked and do not see the problem, which implies it is account specific. Most likely IB's "ambiguous" error where the same symbol with SMART exchange is actually representing a couple different securities. I need to get the log file to see what the problem is. Please do the following: stop quotes on the portfolio Set log level to 200 on bottom right of the dashboard. Start quotes with IB on the portfolio with the 3 problem symbols. Wait 15 sec or so until quotes start updating on the other symbols. go to FILE / Export Settings. Leave the checkboxes already checked, and also check LOG FILE. Export, then email me the exported file please. NOTE: Change log level back to 10, or you will see things slow down a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
