OK, thanks for your answer.
I don't understand why you say I can use TWSLink during 3 weeks for free, because on your webpage you say that TWSLink is completely free without any limitation.

Hi, Sometimes MTBridge works OK. And sometimes, like since a couple of days, I have important issue with ticks values coming from IB through MTBridge. Please have a look at the following picture. http://nsm07.casimages.com/img/2018/02/08//18020802355423727915542977.png You can see in the top right c...

Thanks for the code. I understand how orders work.

I didn't know that TWSLink was obsolete. I saw a recent update for Perl wrapper. Would you say the project is enough mature to use it?

Hi, I've seen in the documentation a table showing some IB order type. Is the documentation up to date? I ask this question, because the number of types supported by TWSLINK is lower than the number of order types in IB. Actually, my question is: is it possible to place a bracket order (order with S...

Hi, I had some issues with MTIBBridge in last days. This is the part of the continuous log I read, split in parts : (sorry for the long description, but I thinks some explanations by parts could be interesting) important number of lines like these ones : 20180129 01:08:10:316 API disconnected 201801...

Hi,

Can you tell me if the MT Bridge log is saved somewhere on my hard drive?
Actually, my question is the one. If I close the Bridge, and reopen it, I can't see anymore the previous log in it. So, is it possible to find it like a file?

Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi, We would like to run a "strategy1" on IB in direct mode (so true money) and we would like in the same time to try a "strategy2" on an IB paper account (fake money). So, is it possible to do that with 1 Bridge, 2 MT5, 2 IB account (one for live, one for paper trades)? I run 2 MT5 (installed in 2 ...

Hi, I come back on your answer. We would like to run a "strategy1" on IB in direct mode (so true money) and we would like in the same time to try a "strategy2" on an IB paper account (fake money).

Thanks for your explanations.

Hello,
It seems to be a problem if you're disconnected, because you can miss some ticks to send orders at the right moments, isn't it ?

Thanks,

Hi,

At least once per day the Bridge is disconnected from IB, and this happens at different hour.
Do you already have seen this kind of issue, and do you how to keep the connection?

Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi, I printed an html report from Bridge, and I have some question about columns signification. For example, trade on EURUSD IB symbol MT symbol Side Shares Price MT-Price Category EUR.USD EURUSD BOT 200000 1.18807000 1.19252000 target EUR.USD EURUSD SLD 200000 1.19286000 1.19252000 mt5_open_positio...

Hi,

Is it possible to have only one MTIBBridge linked to multiple IB accounts and multiple MT5 sessions? Is there a product to do that kind of things? Or do we need one bridge product per IB account per MT5 session?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I'm going to understand and to try all these ideas.

Hi, Thanks I'm checking that. If I well understand the logical, I have to listen always messages coming from IB, and, for example, retrieving the quotes from these messages? So, I don't have to use anymore the void OnTick() handler of MT5, because it is replaced by this code: init(); while(IsStopped...

Yes, I 've checked tc_sc_bridge_events . It is this script I use to display information in my charts. This is why I know something was wrong in my script. In tc_sc_bridge_events we need to suscribe and doing some stuffs in the init() function. Can you describe why we have all these functions ? Do yo...

I use MT5 The function tc_ib_ask() is a proxy for a call to TCBC_QUOTE(Symbol(),2) This is define in tcbridgecomm.mqh #define _TC_IB_QUOTE_ASK 2 and tc_bridge_utils.mqh double tc_ib_ask(const string& symbol) { return TCBC_QUOTE(symbol,_TC_IB_QUOTE_ASK); } So, I think everything is OK on this side. S...

OK, sorry. I use the script provided by trade-commander to display info in chart. This is what you see in the picture. Now, I want these information in my Expert Advisor script. And for that, I use the tc_ib_bid() and tc_ib_ask functions. But they return bad values as shown previously in the thread....

Sorry, forget to mention that quotes need to be enabled.
Can you check this please: In the bridge, first page, double click on the MetaTrader instance and make sure "Quote messages" is checked.

Yes, "Quote messages" is checked.

Do you have other things to check to know where the issue comes from?

HI,
I have an IB accout, and MTIBBridge sees this account.
And in my chart I have the price information of IB :
