Rejected: There is no market data available to drive the simulation engine

[ianlav]

Hello,
I am getting the error message noted in the title when my strategy tries to create an order when it runs on my SIM101 account for selected instruments.

My data comes from Interactive Brokers, and I call pull up a quote there, and create a chart in NinjaTrader. I have added the instruments in the Instrument Manager.

Examples of instruments include the following stocks: SGY, CRK, and SGBL, whereas others like CPE, GLOG and FTK work fine.

What could be the cause of this error?

Thanks,
Ian

Hello hifreq,

Thank you for your response.

So you are seeing the same error as Ian was in this thread? And you are trading to the Sim101 account?

If you go to Tools > Instrument Manager > search for the instrument you are testing > select the instrument > then Edit > is there a 'Sim feed start price' set?

[hifreq]

yes there is

Because the market is closed?

It's holiday (Labor Day) in the USA, and futures should have been half day or less than half day.

Thank you sledge. I know that markets are closed, but why does that mean that i can't enable a strategy? When I enabled the same strategy on ZS it did not throw the error. If a market is closed should't NT just calculate on the historical data and wait until market opens?
