MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

I turned off the connection between multicharts and IB Gateway. After I reopen it and expect there is a trade. The "TIF not specified" signal was noted. and the message from the trade log is " Didn't receive final status for order OrderID = 52 ................" . I checked my setting in IB Gateway, I found that the box of API read only mode is clicked. But I still have trade before I turned it off last week.

Did anyone have experienced similar problem. is IB gateway always turn itself back to read only mode after restart?

Hello dingmanhoe123,

If you are running a demo account then the recent versions of IB Gateway/TWS reset the settings upon restart. If you are running a sim/live account then this should not be the case. If you switch between accounts then each of them should have individual set of application settings.

I am running a real account

dingmanhoe123, if your IB Gateway settings are reset after restart - you need to contact IB support for assistance.
