Using Interactive Brokers default delayed data with Ninjatrader 8

[systemtrader4]

Hi there, I have downloaded the free version of NT8 and connected it to my IB account according to the official NT8 description. With IB I only have the free default delayed market data, I have not subsribed to any other data feeds. When I open NT8 with the IB connectoin with the free default delayed IB market data, the charts are just blank. If in NT8 I switch to the free Kinetick end-of-day data feed, however, I can load all the charts. So, I was wondering, is it at all possible to use the free IB default delayed data feed in NT8 and if so, are there any additional steps in configuration I need to take?

Kind regards.

Hello systemtrader4,

Thank you for your post.

Delayed data is not supported within NinjaTrader. In order to plot data within NinjaTrader using your Ib account, real-time data will need to be enabled for your account.

Please contact IB to confirm your account is enabled for real-time data for the instruments you want to load. After enabling real-time data, please restart NinjaTrader.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any other NinjaTrader inquiries you may have.
