Connecting to TD AMERITRADE PaperMoney

[endtagster]

I have a free TD Ameritrade paper trading account called paperMoney, which was originally developed by Think or Swim. I was trying to let NT connect to this account, so I entered my paperMoney username and password as login info for TD Ameritrade. However, every time I try to connect to TD Ameritrade, I would get a login error.

My question is: can I connect to TD Ameritrade using their paperMoney account? Thanks!

Hello*endtagster,

What is the message you receive?

Hello*endtagster,

What is the message you receive?

The message I received is: "Login failed: unable to login".

It appears after I try to connect to the TD AMERITRADE PaperMoney account.

As I understand, there're regular TD ameritrade account and there're this so called PaperMoney account. I want to confirm if NT supports the latter. Thanks!

Hello*endtagster,

This message indicates the account is not set up for use in NinjaTrader.

You will need to contact TD Ameritrade so they can configure the account for use in NinjaTrader.*

Tried to connect to such a "papertrade"-account as well, got an NinjaTrader-error saying can't connect to TD Ameritrade with Ninja-64bit; please install 32bit Ninja. Really?

Hello*RonnyKeller,

TD Ameritrade does not support the 64 bit version.

To use TD Ameritrade you will need to use the 32 bit version.*

The TOS data feed is still a separate entity from the TDA data feed. You cannot connect NinjaTrader to the TOS data feed.
