Charts not being updated with realtime data

[shawnh]

Hi, last night I created 3 workspaces - a stock ratio chart in each. I called them:

GEL-RGNC
HON-NOC
CSX-NSX

They are basically all identical - 365 days of daily data in each. Anyway, when I finished work last night, my open active workspace was CSX-NSX. Then during the night, of course my InteractiveBrokers live feed automatically disconnected. Today around noon, I reconnected NT7 to the datafeed and the only workspace that is being updated with live data is the CSX-NSX one... the other two are stuck on 02/01/2010 (yesterdays data) and are not updating.

Thanks

Shawn,

I just created 2 workspaces with default charts. End date = 2/2. I closed NT, changed my PC clock to say it is 2/4. Reopened NT, charts in both workspaces now say end date is 2/4 as expected. Please clarify steps to reproduce. Thank you.

Well, I didn't do anything special Josh, just created some daily data charts. Now this morning when I re-connected to IB, the stock chart that I said DID get updated okay yesterday (CSX) did not advance to today's (Feb 3) data automatically - it's stuck at Feb 2.
Instead of exiting NT7 and artificially setting your system clock ahead, try doing exactly what I did:

(1) Make a workspace CSX with a daily chart of 365 days. Save it.
(2) Make another workspace (whatever.. MSFT) with another 365 day daily chart and save it.
(3) Make the CSX workspace the open workspace.
(4) Make sure you're connected to the Interactivebrokers TWS data feed.
(5) Leave everything on overnight - don't exit anything or manually disconnect anything. Let it automatically disconnect by itself.
(6) Tomorrow morning, re-start the Interactivebrokers Trader Workstation.
(7) NT7 ought to be still running, so just re-connect to IB.
(8) Check the two workspaces and see if they showing live current data or still stuck at yesterday.

Thanks
Shawn
