Hey traders,

Finally, we are pleased to present an important and long-awaited update to our PTMC trading platform. Meet the new trade connection - Interactive Brokers.



As you know, from the beginning of this year we have made connection to three forex brokers - FXCM, LMAX, OANDA, as well as to the data feeds, such as Quandl, IQFeed.
Now we are coming to the whole new level with connecting to one of the most reliable and worldwide popular brokers - Interactive Brokers (IB).

Considering that the IB is one of the largest FCM, which gives access to a large number of exchanges, this is a huge step towards, the possibility to trade not only OTC products, but also Stocks, Options, Futures, ETFs, Bonds etc. via PTMC trading platform.

Our previous IQFeed connection allows PTMC traders to receive reliable real-time market data. But we went further, and now we can combine several vendors to trade with Interactive Brokers through the multi-connection mechanism (Symbol Mapping Manager). Today you can use this connection just by updating your desktop application (or download the latest version from our website).

The detailed manual helping to set up your trading environment for Interactive Brokers usage is available here: How to connect PTMC trading platform to Interactive Brokers.
Also you can see this video instruction about IB+IQFeed

Hello traders,

One of our user made interesting trading review

It is a usual case when your favorite broker does not provide all of the required data to take a trading decision. That is why we need to connect a third-party data feed in order to receive more trading info. Because brokers and data providers use different codes for the same instrument, the problem of trading symbols matching occurs.
For this particular case PTMC has a very useful tool, called "Symbol Mapping".

Read our manual how to use Symbol Mapping Manager with multiple connection

Hello traders!
Our last post was in the September (unfortunately). But we didn't waste a time and have added a lot of new features and imporvements in PTMC platform.

So this post we dedicate to "What's new in PTMC platform"

1. Added Option Master for Interactive Brokers and IQFeed

As you know we made connection to Interactive Brokers at the end of summer, but now we are happy to announce that weve added Option Master for Interactive Brokers traders as well for IQFeed customers. With using this tool you can analyze option positions by different parameters and conditions and then execute them. If you have a real account with IB and have an idea of option trading, dont hesitate to launch this module. We are sure you will appreciate this functionality.




2. Fast Symbol Mapping for option traders

As you already know, our Symbol Mapping Manager creates a connection between different data feeds and trade routes, allowing users to customize the desired connection. But we just had to improve this functionality!
For option traders we have implemented an opportunity of mapping all strikes and all available series simultaneously for selected trading instrument. Thus, it saves a huge amount of time, especially for instruments with a wide list of options series.



3. Updated .Net Framework to 4.5 version

The main news of this release is updating .NET Framework for our platform from 3.5 to 4.5 version. Why its so important? The new version includes significant language and framework enhancements for C# and Visual Basic which allows our users to write asynchronous code more easily, as well as it has a more responsive UI, and an application scalability. Also, this version delivers better performance, reliability, and security for our platform.



4. Some improvements for Volume Profile

At your requests, we have added a couple of settings to our Volume Profile. Now you can apply Filter for any parameters (volume, delta, trades, etc.) and display only the most significant levels. We have added the ability to show Total values for the entire profile as well.



5. The visibility of an indicator at a desired TF

We had got a lot of requests about a possibility to show an indicator or a drawing on a desired time frame. Well, as the saying, the clients word is law for us! Open the indicator settings, and customize the visibility only for a certain time frame or type of chart.



6. New Hotkeys for quick management

We know that for a quick management platform functionality traders often use Hotkeys. At the same time, taking into account popularity of Grid Panelamong our customers, we decided to add an ability to control panels via the new hotkeys.Three buttons are currently available: next panel, previous panel and fullsize panel.



Do you want to use these cool features? More improvements are coming soon!

Hi Protrader,

I like the platform, but I'm not sure why y'all refuse to fix all the bugs. I see updates, which aren't really that impressive, that the team is focusing on. I think most people just want the platform to work, bug-free and without crashing. I want to program an EA, but with all the bugs, it is impossible. I see people bringing this concern up in the forum and I don't think they are trying to be a nuisance, but every detail matters for creating an EA. I see my trades closing at an earlier day than it was opened. The dollar value for the pip is incorrect. And I have even enter trades way away from the real prices. These are just a few of the bugs that will prevent someone from creating an EA. Please focus on the right things and fix AlgoStudio. I would fix it myself if it was open source.

Hello TimHanks,

Thanks for your comment. We are constantly improving our platform and taking into account every opinion and suggestion.
At the moment our team is actively working on a full upgrade of AlgoStudio module. We plan to complete the algo module at the end of the year (approximately).

If you have any ideas how to improve it, please leave us your comment in this thread

Hello traders!

We have great update for you! First we divided our platform to two versions: Stable and Beta.
{ copyrighted content deleted by staff }



But I want to tell you how to create this connection on your PTMC platform:
1) Download and install PTMC Beta (64 or 32 bit)
2) For you to trade with your broker using our platform, you need to have installed MT4 terminal.
3) Run PTMC Beta and choose MT4 Gateway from the list of vendors. In case your computer has several MT4 clients installed (of different brokers), then in order to get connection to the desired terminal, you need to select the right connection in the PTMC settings.



4) Click "Log In" and wait a few seconds. With the first launching of this connection you will see the following message: "Failed connection to MT4TMterminal". It must be so, because the connection still can not be set without running the required files. At this point, all necessary files are copied to the folder with your terminal automatically, namely: MtApi advisor which processes signals from the PTMC, as well as a pair of libraries to create a connection.



5) Enter MT4 terminal settings (Tools -> Options) and in the "Expert Advisors" tab activate the following items:



6) Find "MtApi" trading expert in the Navigator panel. Attach it to the chart.



7) Ensure that the Port value of the adviser was 8222 in the settings



8) Run PTMC Beta and connect again with the MT4 Gateway vendor. Now you're ready to start trading! You can now safely send your orders through PTMC.

Hello, how long is the latency between PTMC and MT4, the MT4 Servers are often the Bottleneck and now with a Gateway?

PTMC sends orders instantly. You can try this connection and see for yourself how it works.

thx, I´ve tested now:
Latency on my PC between PTMC and MT4 is between 8-23ms.
But the problem is PTMC don´t find any USDx Pairs.

Thanks for your comment. Could you please tell me what forex broker do you use?
