Today I checked the FX on IB by NT6.5.
FX Trader seems working. Level II is OK. But the Chart is not working. Is it a feature? And if you could add IB's Forex to the available master instrument, it would be great. |

We're checking into an issue where there is no "Last" data provided for currencies by IB which would prevent the charts from updating. We'll keep you posted.

I just downloaded version 6.5.0.6. to test IB currency.
Actually I can could shortly connect to the currency (tested GBPUSD) and managed one simulated trade, but - the charts do not show up, actually NinjaTrader asks me to close down and mail to support, charts stay corrupted and cannot be used with other instruments thereafter - I can find the trades in the executions listings, but they are not included in any of the submenus of the performance summary - After shutting down and restarting NT, my performance summary now shows a loss of 4.6 million $ instead of 46$, I guess I should be carefully staying with the demo account Can you suggest anything?

Thanks.
I just checked and I don't get any historical FX data either. I also checked in TWS and it was not clear what historical data they provide. I could not chart a standard 1 minute chart of FX. Will check into this further and come back to you.
