this is a real life saver so thanks for postingIf you want to use MotiveWave to trade in an account at Interactive Brokers, then you need a third-party data source. dxFeed is excellent, especially for futures because of its full book and market by order real-time market data.
What you want to do is pull historical tick and real-time data from dxFeed and seamlessly execute orders in your Interactive Brokers account. The following configuration allows you to do this without having to customize each and every instrument. It can also be used in editions below Professional that only allow one connection per workspace.
Go to Configure > Workspaces and select the one with your Interactive Brokers connection. Click the Modify button.
In the Connections section of the Edit Workspace dialog, select your Interactive Brokers connection and click Modify.
In the Edit Connection dialog, click the Advanced button.

But since 9.1.2023 i have no stable data from IB. Every day the same thing with stocks. The chart shows only data until 9.1. and begins to draw the candles of the day forgetting them the next day .
Is their a way to fix the data of IB ? Or do i have to subscribe also to dxdata for stocks?
Thanks in front
Hey Scotty.I had the same issue.
It was something IB changed on their end, so MotiveWave Customer Support put out the 6.6.13 update. That fixed everything for me. No IB data issues with stocks anymore on my end.
I recommend updating.
