stock777 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 @BTCM9 the IB symbol, not bring up quotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Have to use MT symbol format 19 instead of 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Why should I notice that , my futures symbols all have the 19 right there on the same port 😤 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Something seems broken. The @BTCM19 symbol populates on load but does not update after that . Other futures are fine and a L2 box using same symbol is working fine , just the portfolio screen stalls right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock777 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 no good. I think the original loaded value was from Ameritrade. The IB symbology is not working , getting quotes no prob from within TWS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Medved Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 hm. Ok how do you enter it in TWS? I type in BTC, and it gives me no futures option. Same with "Bitcoin"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 the root is BRR , then select a futures contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock777 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 indeed it does , nothing confusing about the fact that it says "Symbol BTCM9 " on the tws description screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stock777 Posted June 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 strange too, the MT tooltip calls it the REFERENCE RATE not the FUTURES contract . seems odd Nothing about crypto follows social norms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
