A simple chart (no code) with an Acc/Dist indicator does not work (shows a flat line) during streaming. Notice the flatness at the end.
The only way I know to refresh is to take some action with the chart (such as changing the time resolution or turning the stream off and on).
The same happens with other built-in indicators and C# code strategies, ever since I recall using WL 7/8. What am I doing wrong?

Rename
I can't duplicate this, the indicators update for me on each minute update. Can you save a Workspace and email it to us at support@wealth-lab.com?
Will do, thank you.
You removed the screenshot of a quite outdated build (120 something), maybe it has something to do with that?
Here it is. I really don't believe it's due to an outdated version. This issue started since WL 7, and I can't see how the software has had this deficiency since then.
I forwarded the workspace file to the support email yesterday.

Show an image of that chart with Volume.
Let's cut to the chase. There's a procedure on the IB Extensions Details page and again in the User Guide that you must follow to set up the IB Provider. Once you complete that, right click the chart and "Reload Chart Data from Provider". That will take a good amount of time for your 1 minute charts, so wait for after the close.
In any case, if you're using IB for trading, you should do it with IB Streaming Bars from the S. Monitor. Why? Explained in guide and here: All About WealthLab Intraday and Realtime Data Providers

Yes let’s make sure you’re getting volume updates in streaming!
It's not about Volume updates, it's about assumed scaling. But either way, Streaming Volume will almost never match the historical bars result. Volume from Streaming Bars (or polling) will though.
I'll have to study the info.
With that, as you can see from the chart, streaming volume is updated (yes, it took a while first) only if I refresh the chart somehow (change scale, stop/start streaming). So, as far as I can see, IB streaming is configured.
Are you saying that the procedure in the link should fix that?

Probably. You need to use the API settings as instructed in the procedure. That's why the "Setup Instructions" exist.
I checked the blog link but I can't find a mention of "streaming bar" in the IB extension page, https://www.wealth-lab.com/extension/detail/InteractiveBrokers
I need to see the indicators visually in the chart. It does not help me to apply it in the monitor window because I can not see the indicators.
To be clear, the price is streaming real-time just fine in the chart, except for the indicators.

You are hiding the volume pane so we can't really see if streaming volume is being updated.
Here is the volume pane
See, the volume is zero coming in through streaming. Thus no updates for the volume based indicator AccumDist. Other non-volume based indicators should update.
Yes, that's the problem.
How can this get fixed? How can I see real-time indicators - on the chart?

Follow the One Time Setup Procedure.
Every step.
Every checkbox.
After that, if recent volume data doesn't line up well with historical volume (i.e., there's a difference by a factor of 100), you'll need to Reload all your charts fed by IB.
Incidentally, I forgot that I started this streaming chart more than an hour ago. The streaming Volume actually does match the historical volume for each bar. (I did a better job with that than I remembered.)

Sounds good, will recheck everything..
