Warning before you consider Ninjatrader with Interactive Brokers and Kinetick, think again.
This has been the worst experience of my life trying to figure out why I can't place limit orders via my Ninjatrader (API with Interactive Brokers account) and Kinetick data feed in after market hours.
I'm about 4 days away from abandoning any investment I've made in Ninjatrader, BECAUSE no one can help me. I'm constantly getting the run around,
- Ninjatrader: Its not Ninjatrader its IB.
- IB: We just process the orders you send us, must be Ninja or data provider Kinetick.
- Kinetick: They can't support me because they don't work past 6PM
My issues are with placing Limit orders in the evening, BECAUSE I'm a swing trader. I feel like this must be some elaborate practical joke. I just cancelled my Kinetick and subscribed to Interactive Brokers data which is costing me $100+ monthly and I still can't place limit bracket orders via Ninjatrader to my Interactive brokers. I'm constantly having to go into IB's TWS and manually create the bracket order.
Is there anyone out there who has this setup and successfully placing limit orders in after market hours:
- Ninjatrader NT7 connected to Interactive Brokers TWS v443 (with and/or without data)
- Kinetick Real-time data subscription
There's got to be someone else with the exact same setup who can help me. Otherwise 1.5 years of my trading life with Ninjatrader down the drain (biggest waste of time)!
