I tried to live trade the first time via IB / NT and encountered at least 2 different problems:
1. I tried to strategy live trade an instrument for which I do not have a data-subscription from IB, but from another provider - not sure if that is supposed to work?
Do I generally need IB market data to be able to trade via IB?
There is a warning popup from IB that seems to cause trouble - has anyone experience with that?
2. I tried to trade a strategy live with forex data - this seems basically to work since IB is providing the forex data - but after about 2 executed live trades NT froze completely without warning - I tried a second time with the same result. Maybe there are some additional adjustments in TWS I need to undertake? Any idea what it could be?
I did everything explained in the connection guide and the connection itself is fine - NT is working fine in simulation mode with IB live data and automated strategies.
