Hello Mrbeanbag,

The message you're getting means there isn't enough money in the account to submit the order. If this is submitted on a NT Sim101 account, follow these steps:

Resetting a simulation account will clear all historical trade data from this account. Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Options
• Select the "Simulator" tab
• Press the "Reset" button

It's not a sim act , Im running NT with a live IB acct with more than enough funds. Thanks.


OKI! working now, thx!

MrBeanBag,

How did you resolve the issue the first time?

What ype of account is this on?

Simulator / accounts / back101 , is that the info you asked for? I have NT connected to IB , I am not a live customer of NT yet, just using it for charting and backtesting.

How did you resolve the issue the first time?[/QUOTE]

I followed your instructions.

It allows me to reset Sim101 and Replay101

I hope by resetting both I will not lose any vitally important tick data that I have been building up. I have reset Back101.

It sounds like you are using up the available account equity on your Sim 101 account.

Resetting will not erase your tick history. You may consider following the same steps but setting the Initial Cash value higher.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Options
• Select the "Simulator" tab
• Set Initial Cash to 10,000,000
• Press the "Reset" button
