tradingcat Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I have 4 tickers up on charts, each colour linked to Level 2 windows. Account is linked to Interactive Brokers, and data is also from Interactive Brokers. When changing tickers, I sometimes end up with the Level 2 just showing the first line, but then sometimes, all the lines show up. This seems to happen at random too. Sometimes, going into Settings > Data Source -Configure Accounts > Interactive Brokers, and changing "Max lines on Level II" to a different number resets some of Level 2 windows (and they show all the lines properly), but sometimes it doesn't make a difference (and the L2 will still just show the first line). Example of how it looks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 1 line happens if MT does not have Level II data for the symbol. In that case, it just shows the bid/ask from the Level I quote in the first line. Do you have more than 3 Level II windows with IB as the source, or have Level II also showing in TWS?

tradingcat Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 I have 4 level 2 windows with IB as the source. Is 3 the limit? I don't have Level 2 showing in TWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 IB's default limit is 3 unless you pay them for more "buckets" of data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tradingcat Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 That makes sense. Thanks Jerry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
