just wondering if its possible to use IB data on metatrader yet?
Not yet, though the creator promises that will be included eventually. Note that this is just a Beta release as yet, free, quite buggy, constantly being updated, (a good thing) so really isn't ready for real trading yet. When it is, expect to pay for it (imo) - also a good thing as 'maxchinasky' offers excellent suppport even now.
Also note, I'm talking about downloading historical IB data - you will never be able to use "only" IB price quotes for trading as MT relies on tick-based interrupt for indicator/EA execution, unless Metaquotes add software interrupts to MT. A trivial addition but one we will probably never see...
I have been testing a scalper on MT using IB quotes and find that the EA run just too slow to benefit from the typical 0.5 pip resolution that IB offers...
PS - thought link in the opening post was referring to Metatrader - it isn't. The product I am referring to is here:
