NT with IB and SPY

[superdoug3]

Does this seem feasible
1. Interactive Broker data feed
2. Ninjatrader 7 platform
2. chart trading ETF - SPY
4. how about charting ETF - SPY using NT7 and using IB to submit the trades

Hi superdoug3,

Thanks for writing in.

This should work. Have you already created the connection to IB? If not, the steps required can be found here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/ninjatrad...tall_917_8.exe

Thank you Kyle
1. I read all of the related EFT, IB, SPY messages on NT forum and some say yes and some say they had a problem with trading SPY using NT etc. All of these trades were NT6.5 users and the forum threads were in 2010.
2. Before going to the trouble of funding an IB account I would like a definitive answer.
2.1 as far as you know NT7 can chart SPY
2.2 as far as you know NT7 can submit SPY trades from a chart

Hi superdoug3,

Yes, it should be possible to both chart and trade from the chart when using SPY data with Interactive Brokers. There are no known issues at this time with the instrument or provider.
