⭐ shawnh Posted September 12, 2017 Report Posted September 12, 2017 Hi Group, would anyone have experience in working with Wave59 with forex symbols? I am trying to retrieve forex data from my IB connection using History59 with no luck. I know the syntax for retrieving a stock from IB is like AAPL_STK_SMART and that works fine... but don't know how for forex. Thanks! Shawn Quote
Shenong Posted September 13, 2017 Report Posted September 13, 2017 Hi bro :) Maybe some basic GOOG keywords would do the job.....So powerful beast.... :) Quote
Banner Posted September 13, 2017 Report Posted September 13, 2017 shawnh, are you using version 2.10? I don't think it works with IB. Eventually the screen will freeze. Quote
⭐ shawnh Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Posted September 13, 2017 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 S Hi bro :) Maybe some basic GOOG keywords would do the job.....So powerful beast.... :) Shenong 1 Quote
⭐ shawnh Posted September 13, 2017 Author Report Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks Banner, yes I know about the problems with 2.10 (have tried myself). I am using v3.6 RT and has been working fine for me. Thanks S shawnh, are you using version 2.10? I don't think it works with IB. Eventually the screen will freeze. Quote
⭐ AndyS Posted September 13, 2017 Report Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) You can try this to pull data, but sorry I cannot support any questions. After hours of trying years back I got the data from IB to work. The only problem is the WS9 is not good and will not help ur trading. https://www.sendspace.com/file/k47q1l Good luck Edited September 13, 2017 by AndyS ⭐ shawnh and Shenong 2 Quote
Shenong Posted September 14, 2017 Report Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) AndyS :) 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 Edited September 14, 2017 by Shenong ⭐ AndyS 1 Quote
⭐ shawnh Posted September 15, 2017 Author Report Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks for that AndyS... I actually noticed that program when I was installing 3.6 (or was it 2.10?) some time ago. It looked fairly complicated and involved so I didn't bother touching it! Maybe I will have a closer look at it when I get some free time! Thanks S Quote
