No data feed with MB Trading

[yamr682003]

Okay. I'm completely baffled. I recently setup a demo account with MB Trading and connected it with NinjaTrader. However, the only thing that happens is a popup window of MB Navigator comes up showing their data for forex pairs (yes, it's the correct version of Navigator). There's no streaming data feed showing in NinjaTrader itself, for either version 6.5 or 7. I was under the impression that once I connect to my broker through NT, I can use data from that broker and analyze it in NT with charts, SuperDOMs, etc. What am I missing here?

Hello yamr682003,

Thank you for your post.

Please answer the following questions so I may further assist:

• What data provider are you connecting to within NinjaTrader?
• Are you showing as connected in the lower left hand corner of the Control Center?
• Are you receiving data within the Orders tab of the Control Center?
• Are there any error messages in the Log tab of the Control Center?
• What time interval chart are you attempting to open?
• When you right mouse click within your chart are you able to Reload historical data or is the option grayed out?
• What instrument and expiry month are you attempting to load?

I look forward to assisting you further with this issue.

Got it.

Hey, Chris. Thanks for your reply. I figured it out.

I feel pretty stupid now, but I had to finagle with the instrument manager.
