At about 14:00 yesterday tried going live with IB streaming and IB as broker. 2 of 10 stocks did get signals. I was a little confused how to turn it ON. But saw those orders and a mesg message there were orders. The orders never showed on screen. I clicked on each order then think clicked Stage and it did and I did buy and it worked and showed up on API tab on IB.

Then after 30 mins of so figured out chart data was frozen. Today it still is. I put in AAPL and it is not frozen 16:00 and correct close on it, put FANG or MRNA in again and both are still frozen today at 14:00. So when order executed it appears it froze the data just for that symbol.

Suggest a video of the entire process of opening WL, selecting Strategy, broker, live data, and order size, backtest it, turn it on and connect to something that trades fast, get auto orders, fast forward to just before it exits, then turn it off and verify it is off and whatever else if important. The entire video could be just 5 mins long and users could frame by frame replay each nuance. With that newbies can figure out a ton of stuff. I would watch that right now if it existed. Does it?

Here is log from time in question:

Today exact same thing happened. Everything indicates that IB streaming is working, running 15 min bars. When I tell it to test on data manager, it says "Closed" as old test in it, click again it is slow but connects and give current price. But in the Strategy the chart if frozen time wise on last signal bar in the morning (10am). I closed the startegy and reopened, not reboot WL itself, and it does refresh to current time and shows buys that took place during the day..

Seems like it is using historical data instead of streaming.

This maybe is real simple, how do I get my Straregy to use streaming? Order manager does show IB Streaming with green button.

Must be missing something.

If you have 15 min bars and it is streaming does the candle change when each tic happens? Does it paint the new candle live? Trying to figure out how to know if it is streaming?

Despite the disconnects shown in the log, the main problem is that you're not even using streaming.

See the User Guide (F1) > Charts > Streaming Charts
Links to videos there too.
