IB webtrader connection to Ninja 7 ?

[lightfoot500]

hi,
is it possible to use IB 's webtrader version as a data provider.? i have used the stand alone version of IB TWS,, if so, is there something that needs to be enabled in webtrader to use it as a data provider ?

Hello and thank you for your post,

Currently, the browser version of Interactive Brokers is not supported. Only the desktop version is supported.

Below, I've included a link to the NinjaTrader Connection Guide for Interactive Brokers.

Let me know if I can further assist.

ok, i downloaded and installed the standalone Tws.
but the API Access is denied on the global configurations.
not sure what that is about.
i have a money account on my other computer.
on this computer i was trying to use the associated sim-account that IB provides.
not sure if that is why the API access is denied.
i have in the past used the sim - trade side of IB as a data provider for Ninja.
i am not sure, perhaps they changed that so people couldnt use it for data.
do you happen to know the solution ?
(well i went online, the guy said i downloaded an older version from their site, and to upgrade to the latest tws version)
solution found

and now the API is working, but when i go to connect with Ninja, i get an error message from ninja saying "No connection could be made because target machine activiely refused it" ?
what's that all about ?

Hello,

What build of Traders Workstation are you using?

* To verify what version of Traders Workstation you currently have log into Traders Workstation
* Under Help go to About Traders Workstation...
* Scroll down and look for Build

Hello,

You will need to enable Active X.

Please follow the steps outlined in the connection guide below.

IB not showing up in provider list

Hi,
I installed latest TWs and API, did all the settings from the connection guide in the TWS API but IB is not showing up as a provider.

[NinjaTrader_RileyS]

Hello td_910,
Thank you for your post.

The reason IB is not showing in your list is because your current license is configured to use Trading Technologies.

Due to that can you please go to Help-->License Key and please copy the license key and send an email to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com so that we can look into resolving the issue. There are a couple of resolutions we can take but it will depend on the precise license you are using.

Please reference this forum post when sending that email with the license, and please do not post the license to the forum as that is your unique trading license.

We look forward to being of further assistance.
