Problem Connecting with eSignal

[alphasig319]

Hello

I recently installed Ninja Trader and followed your help guide setting up a connection with eSignal.

However once I click on File --> Connect
It's returns the following statement "Login Failed: Unable to connect to tick server host."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I am running Windows 7 if that helps

Hello alphasig319,

Thank you for your post.

This occurs when your eSignal account is not entitled for level 2 (market depth) data. You must change your eSignal account connection in NinjaTrader by performing the following steps.

• From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Account Connections
• Select your eSignal connection and press the "Change" button
• Press the "Next" button several times until you reach the screen wich holds your eSignal account information
• Remove all text from the field "Tick Server Host" so that it is blank
• Press the "Next" button and then the "Finish" button
• Restart NinjaTrader and connect to your eSignal account

Hi,

I'm running the same problem while trying to connect to esignal as the data source.

I'm using XP. I went to Tools->Account Connections to setup a new connection for eSignal. Re-launch NT 7. At the low left hand corner, it keeps saying "Connectin - ESignal" and the hour-glass cursor is on all the time.

Please advise. Thank you.
