IB have a native continuous contrats ! very easy to find and trade them with TWS ...

Why MC don't use them ?

when you build them with MC, you can't use Renko, Why ?


trading FDAX and FDXM ...

If MC do not retrieve them using the search tool, have you tried to add them manually?
Does IB allow access to those continuous contracts outside TWS?

It is an IB restriction.

Now you're confusing us.
You said that you weren't able to get IB's continuous contracts in MC (which TJ replied saying it's an IB restriction - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48930#p117244 ) but now you're saying that you do but only for regular bars, not Renko?

Sorry I will explain better now, a Multichart technical show me how to make continuous contract from IB and take control of my PC, all works fine in regular bars but impossible in other bars like renko ...

I don't remenber the link for feature request

Why don't you go back to that Multichart technical and ask him?


then come back and show us.

Hi,

IB continuous contracts are not supported in MultiCharts because they are not provided through IB API. But you can use custom futures functionality to create continuous contracts from IB in MultiCharts. If you use custom futures on the chart, you will not be able to plot Renko charts for them.

Ok, smoky's was not an IB native continuous contract. That explains it. Thanks for the clarification.

vote ok for PM MC-999 and on IB API support for native support on IB API too
