Running out of options on IB Charting solutions

Discussion in 'Trading' started by jimclark, Sep 21, 2007.

  1. Are you able to feed chart data from your IB portfolio? For example: When you click on a ticker in your Monitor-1 (IB Portfolio) does it load the Ensign chart in Monitor-2?
    If yes, I am eager to know how you did it.
    What configurations did you set in IB and/or Ensig to acomplish that?

    Thanks.

  2. No, I can't click on a ticker in TWS, and get a chart on Ensign. But I can set up quote pages in Ensign with my portfolio tickers, and then click on those when I want a chart. Or run a chart on one of the monitors which is fed by the IB data.

    I didn't understand from your question that you wanted to click on a TWS symbol to get a chart. (That sounds like what you want to do). Frankly, that would make no difference to me at all. I really don't look at TWS most of the time. I look at quote pages, charts, and I also use ButtonTrader for order entry, which I have displayed.
