IQ Feed

[ryebank]

Starting to see the following error message more frequently. Causing real problems because i can't load any new data now without disconnecting from my broker and IQ Feed

Hello ryebank,

Thanks for your reply.

What order do you connect? Interactive Brokers first or IQFeed first?

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? (Example: 7.0.1000.26)

* You can check under Help -> About

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

How are you connected to the internet; wired, wireless, 4g, satellite?

IQ Feed then IB - Using IQ Feed for market data

Hello ryebank,

Thanks for your reply.

Please downgrade to the required build of Traders Workstation (944.3)
You can download it within our connection guide at the link below.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/ConnectionGuides/Interactive-Brokers-Connection-Guide.php

TWS does not auto upgrade on my end. I would recommend contacting IB on how to disable auto updates.

Additionally I would recommend restarting your modem/router.

With IQFeed being the primary connection these messages should be unrelated to your data as your data is coming from IQFeed and these are IB messages. Do you see any connection lost messages about IQFeed at these times?

If these are IB messages then it's not the problem.

I'm going to monitor the logs and will report back in this thread

Hi,

"Please downgrade to the required build of Traders Workstation (944.3)"

944.3 doesn't exist. IB website only provides 3 versions to log into;

TWS Latest - 948.2b
TWS - 939.4e
TWS Beta - 949.0j

Both TWS versions 939.4e and 949.0j don't allow API connections so that means NT is useless if it can't be connected to IB for execution....!



"You can download it within our connection guide at the link below.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/Connectio...tion-Guide.php"

Where? Post the link. From what I can see there is no link on this "connection guide" to download TWS....and as i said before the app is run from their website not downloaded locally.

Now this brings me onto another occurrence of my issue

I notice that the connection to IB was 'Orange' in the status bar and seen this error in the logs -

2014-12-16 19:47:07:496 WARNING: Market data farm connection is inactive but should be available upon demand.cashfarm 2108
2014-12-16 19:47:24:272 Connection to NinjaTrader data server lost: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

So I stopped the connection to IB and IQ Feed crashes....

As a result I'm now without NT and IQ Feed, IB is still running with price updates and no apparent issue......

Hello ryebank,

Thanks for your reply.

You can find teh download link within the connection guide under Requirements where it shows teh required build and has the Download link in red.
Below I have provided a direct link.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/ninjatrader/TWS/tws40_install_944_3.exe

Traders Workstation will run locally off your computer.

First step I would recommend to try to resolve your connection is to exit NinjaTrader and restart your modem/router
If you have an anti virus/firewall installed please add exception to the NinjaTrader directories.
You will need to exclude the following directories.
C:\Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7 or C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 7
(My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7

Downloaded TWS and this is working but then there was never a problem with TWS in the first place so lets see how things go
