Trouble With Simulation

[miktrading]

I have successfully created a strategy on Ninja.

What I would like to do is test it with the simulator.

Instruments are Emini s&p futures, Eur/Usd, and AAPL.

I have a live TD Account which comes with a paper account under the same login details.

I also have an IB account.

When connecting to the TD Account, I'm unable to make a manual order of Emini futures. I get the error message: Order can't be submitted. Instrument type "Future" is not supported by any provider connected.

I don't have clearance to trade live futures on this account, but I can view data and paper trade futures with this account.

Why would it not be supported with Ninja ?

Thanks
Steve

Hello miktrading,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The only instruments supported by a TD Ameritrade connection through NinjaTrader are equities and indices.

Please take a look at this link in our help guide for more information about what data is provided to NinjaTrader by each connectivity provider: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rical_data.htm

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Thanks.

Moving on to IB.

I get the error message: IB Adapter Message Loop. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I was logged into IB on my computer while I received this message.

Thanks
Steve

Hey Zachary.
I connected TWS, yet I receive a error message for all instruments.
Error loading chart data. No market data permissions.

Hello miktrading,

This message indicates your Interactive Brokers account is not enabled for this data.

You will need to contact Interactive Brokers to manage your data subscriptions.

Is there any way I could use delayed data for an intraday strategy ?

Hello miktrading,

Please take a look at this link dealing with NinjaTrader Integration with TWS: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/1978

Q: Can the free delayed market data feed from IB be used with Ninja Trader?
A: No. Delayed market data is not relayed through the IB API and account holders seeking to use IB as a data source must subscribe to a real-time data feed through Account Management.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.
