tradelink, Thanks for the links. I still can't get a simple quote to appear. Here's what I did step-by-step. 1) I went Tradelink folder in Start menu. Then click on InteractiveBrokers. And I get the following: "Starting tradelink broker server... 165148 Started TL BrokerServer TradeLinkServer [ 0.1.1828] 165148 Looking for 5 TWS instances... 165148 ------------------------------- 165148 Found instance at port: 7496 165149 TWS connection closed. 165149 Noting found at port: 7497 165150 Noting found at port: 7498 165151 Noting found at port: 7499 165152 Noting found at port: 7500 165152 ------------------------------- 165152 Found 1 of 5. 165152 For more instances, change value in: TwsServer.Config.txt 165152 Found accounts: " 2) Next I start Quotopia and I get this: 165230 Client quotopia.client connected. 165236 Client quotopia.client disconnected. 165236 Client quotopia.client connected. 165242 Client quotopia.client disconnected. So, I don't even have a chance to type in a symbol or anything. In the Settings tab, I have Account #, Exchange, NYMEX, Decimal Points 2, Shares 1, Broker Timeout(sec) 11. 3) Then I added CLH0 NYMEX and I get the following message: Starting tradelink broker server... 165422 Started TL BrokerServer TradeLinkServer [ 0.1.1828] 165622 Client quotopia.client registered: CLH0 NYMEX FUT,CLH0 NYMEX 165622 Not connected [err:504] [ibid:0] [tlid:0] 165622 Added IB subscription for CLH0 165622 Not connected [err:504] [ibid:1] [tlid:0] So, what did I do wrong? thanks
disconnect/reconnection message is benign in your release of TL. to get quotes you have to type symbol you want quotes for : http://code.google.com/p/tradelink/wiki/TwsConfiguration if you have other problems or questions post here so everybody can benefit from your Q&A: http://groups.google.com/group/tradelink-users
I DID type in the symbol and I'm still getting the same message above! 221731 Client quotopia.client disconnected. 221731 Client quotopia.client connected. 221731 Client quotopia.client registered: CLH0,CLH0 NYMEX CL I've tried this for several days now. What's WRONG? I typed in CLHO NYMEX and I tried CLHO NYMEX CL Either I'm really stupid or the documentation isn't clear. And yes, I've already configured TWS. And my question whether Master API client ID should be set to -1 still hasn't been answered... Thanks, 99
