Enabling currency as an Instrument type

[higher.high]

1. How do I enable currency as an Instrument type from Instrument Manager?

I have a IB live connection from NT with access to fx data. I have enabled historical data option for this connection. I still don't see currency as an instrument type.

I mainly need to get a EURUSD 60 min chart going in NT using my IB feed.

2. I also have a mirus/zen feed going on for futues. When I have this historical data option enabled for IB connection, how do I ensure NT uses mirus/zen for futures and not IB?

Thanks for your help.

Hello higher.high,

Thank you for your post.

1.) Please connect only to IB and check the instrument manager again - are currency pairs now listed?

If not, which version of TWS are you using? (Help > About)

2.) Connection order is significant when using multiple connections. For your purposes, you'll want to connect to Zen-Fire then to IB to ensure that futures data comes from Zen.

I hadn't enabled the "Trade currencies" option when I created the IB connection. Now I can get a EURUSD chart. Thanks.
