Sorry to bounce this older topic, but I had a similar situation that Hessum reported and this thread helped. At this point, everything appears to be operating as expected with my PTL portfolio, I've added the IB Market Data Package, and I'm working on a single pair now to become comfortable with PTL and IB. Two questions. 1) What does "No activity at the exchange" mean? I can't imagine there are actually no trades against my pair but if I look at my pair legs in the center section, both of my symbols are reporting 0.0 bid/ask/last/etc. what am I missing?
2) In the upper right action, settings tab, I see where I can allocate a percentage of my account in a bound account against my selected pair. Have I overlooked the opportunity to allocate a specific $ amount in a bound account against my selected pair?
