Placing trades is not yet possible. Sorry for the delay but we don't know yet when this feature will be released.

I realize it is just the BETA version, but I'm unable to connect to IB to get realtime quotes using the realtime QS. Using the 32-bit realtime version of QS, I get a message that says I need to install the IB API first, but the program locks up at that point. Is there a special installation file to get the real-time data to work with IB?

When I worked with futures symbols on IB, I was getting this error, "No security definition has been found for the request (Code:200)". Finally, the problem was solved when I have updated the 'multiplier' field in Symbol-->Update Symbol with number '1' for the futures contracts.
