i tried to connect NT using simulation data feed and when i tried forex using $EURUSD using IBIdeal exchange, i get no datafeed. My simulation datafeed works fine on ER/ES/YM but for forex, no datafeed.

I use IB with NT with IBIdealpro Exchange,

When I submit the order,I always get error message "Unable to submit order now, : No market Data availavle, "

I have to use IBIdealPro exchange for actual FOREX trading, IBdeal is only for currency conversion.

I sentmy error long to support but so far, no one replied or fix my problem.

Thanks

Can you get market data in TWS using IdealPro?

Hi Sam,

Yes you get market data or yes you have been trading? If you enter a currency pair in IB TWS, then select cash, then select a pair for IdeaPro, do you get market data on the market data line in TWS?

Thanks

i am not sure what do you mean by market data line in TWS?



when i enter pair using cash and ibidealpro, i do get live data feed and i could trade right there by clicking buy/sell.

Any updates on my forex problem with IB/NT?

Hi Sam,

No update since we are not sure if we will continue support IB FX in the future. We are a few weeks away from releasing FX through GAIN Capital.

Ray hi.

As I am using IB TWS for all data feeds I would be worried if the Idealpro feed was dropped even if there were arguments in favour of the alternative (as opposed to the alternative being added to the Ninja arsenal). I simply don't have time to manage an additional broker and data feed. Come to think of it I don't have time to manage what I've got
