Retrieve forex data with Wave59/History59

heheh, thanks Shenong. Ohh I did search Google the mighty beast quite a bit and came up with nothing! So eventually I just asked IB support about it and they gave me the answer! The syntax for a forex symbol was a little tricky and not obvious. For EURUSD, it would be this:

 

EUR_CASH_IDEALPRO_USD

 

For USDJPY, this:

 

USD_CASH_IDEALPRO_JPY

 

 

It now reads in ticks from IB fine, but only problem -History59 doesn't seem to be able to retrieve "1-day history" or "multiple day history" for these forex symbols.

 

Thanks

Hi bro :)

 

Maybe some basic GOOG keywords would do the job.....So powerful beast.... :)

yeah, agree with you, W59 is not really a PRO software...Earik Beann has succeeded in selling a private home-made tool in a us$7500 "PRO" software....

 

Brilliant Marketing and TONS of luck, i guess.....

 

However, i don't say there are not some good ideas / functions inside, just the Global STRUCTURE is not on par....

 

My 2 cents, Man, just my 2 cents

 

:D
