Forex on Interactive Brokers

[Sir Walter]

Does the 6.5 beta version support trading forex on IB, and will the production version?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

The next beta version will due out next week sometime.

[Sir Walter]

Will the new version out next week support Forex on IB?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

That is correct.

[monpere]

Is there a listing of new features, and/or fixed issues in this new beta version?

The next beta version will due out next week sometime.

We will release more information when the new version is ready. Thanks for your patience.

Today I checked the FX on IB by NT6.5.
FX Trader seems working. Level II is OK.
But the Chart is not working.
Is it a feature?

And if you could add IB's Forex to the available master instrument,
it would be great.

We're checking into an issue where there is no "Last" data provided for currencies by IB which would prevent the charts from updating. We'll keep you posted.

This issue is fixed by new 6.5.0.6: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=5021

I just downloaded version 6.5.0.6. to test IB currency.

Actually I can could shortly connect to the currency (tested GBPUSD) and managed one simulated trade, but

- the charts do not show up, actually NinjaTrader asks me to close down and mail to support, charts stay corrupted and cannot be used with other instruments thereafter

- I can find the trades in the executions listings, but they are not included in any of the submenus of the performance summary

- After shutting down and restarting NT, my performance summary now shows a loss of 4.6 million $ instead of 46$, I guess I should be carefully staying with the demo account

Can you suggest anything?

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Please install the latest beta 6.5 available in this forum. Will address your issues.

[Harry]

I just installed the latest Beta.

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

At exactly what time EST?

[Harry]

I downloaded it at 16:35 EST

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Thanks.

I just checked and I don't get any historical FX data either. I also checked in TWS and it was not clear what historical data they provide. I could not chart a standard 1 minute chart of FX. Will check into this further and come back to you.
