After struggling with simulation, this morning I decided to attempt a live trade to see if that was any easier. I ran SampleMACrossover on DIS and it took a long position at 10:09:55. NinjaTrader crashed (threw up the messagebox that results from an unhandled exception asking to close or debug the program) immediately after the order filled.
Since then, when I try to connect to IB, the Connections menu indicates (with a yellow dot, instead of green) that I am connected to IB, and allows me to disconnect from IB. But, I do not get any market data or any other indication that I am actually connected to IB.
I closed the DIS position manually through TWS. I have opened and closed both NT and TWS several times, with no difference in behavior. I do have a good internet connection and I am getting market data from Kinetick.
I have noticed that TWS downloads itself very often, and it did again the first time I started it this morning. But it was working before the order executed and I don't think it has downloaded itself since then.
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
