No data from IB hangs strategy analyzer

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Which NT version is this? (Help->About)

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Also: which TWS version are you on?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

I just tested 365 days of daily data and 30 days of 1 minute data on a fresh standard DB using 6.0.1000.6 and TWS 877 -> works as expected and I get data for the full timeframe.

[luitom]

The versions are:

Ninja 6.0.1000.6 (live)

and TWS 878.5

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

I suggest retying with TWS 877 (which is the one we recommend: http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/su...ivebrokers.htm) and a fresh DB.

[luitom]

Tried exactly as you suggested. Downloaded and installed TWS 877 from your link. Deleted the DB files from the Documents folder and from the Pogram files\Ninjatrader 6, created a new connection to IB

Same problem: daily back to 10/3/07, intraday only today

I really do not know what I can do

luitom: I had plenty of problems with IB's data feed and ended up switching (I am on a trial with IQFeed right now and will likely keep it).

But I never had the problem you are describing. Are you getting any messages about historical data pacing being exceeded? Can you load the exact chart in TWS and get the data you expect? What exchanges have you set the symbol up with in Instrument Manager?

I know that NT can load the data, given the volume restrictions IB places on it; I suspect it has to do with your instrument set up? [Note: I am just a user and have nothing to do with NT.]

[luitom]

I am not sure how much is cost of iqfeed, but the problem is that I have been a client of IB for a while and I like them as brokers.

To answer your question I do not receive any error message: I simply get in the chart (whatever instrument I request) only the one month of daily data and only today's intraday data.

I am thinking of trying to unistall and then reinstall Ninja.

Dierk, could you please give me some final advice? If I want to reinstall NT, how can I save the script, the custom templates and strategies and the isntruements that I added?

[luitom]

Yes I can the data in the TWS data (for example AAPL) for more than one day. The instrument setup with NT is the default setup

>> Dierk, could you please give me some final advice?
Please see post #35.

[luitom]

I already followed your advice and I have version 877 but I still have the same problem. I also tried with a new DB

However, if I wanted to try to reinstall completely NT, how could I go about saving my scripts, instruments and templates?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Just uninstall via control panel and reinstall from fresh download. Your data will be maintained.

[luitom]

I tried this also. But, unfortunately, I still have the same problems. It looks as if there is no simple solution. I really do not know what to do.

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. It all works as expected here.
