Connecting to NT Brokerage (Mirus) throws error for strategies

[MarketAlly]

When I connect any strategy to my NinjaTrader Continuum it throws the following error.

http://screencast.com/t/yDJmALgrQTXG

I created the following strategy that I use for verifying workflow of events.

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies
{
	public class WorkflowStrategy : Strategy
	{
		bool realTimeAccount = false;
		protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Description					= @"Overview of what events fire and items set";
				Name						= "Workflow";
				Print("OnStateChange: SetDefaults");
			}
			else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Configure");
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.Realtime)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Realtime");
				realTimeAccount = true;
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.Historical)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Historical");
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.Active)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Active");
				realTimeAccount = true;
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.Transition)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Transition");
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: DataLoaded");
				CheckAccount();
			}
			else if (State == State.Terminated)
			{
				Print("OnStateChange: Terminated");
				CheckAccount();
			}
		}

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if (realTimeAccount) CheckAccount();
		}
				private void CheckAccount() 
		{ 
			if (Account == null) {
				Print("CheckAccount: null account");
			} else {
				Print("CheckAccount: CashValue:" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.CashValue, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: GrossRealizedProfitLoss" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.GrossRealizedProfitLoss, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: Commission" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.Commission, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: TotalCashBalance" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.TotalCashBalance, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: BuyingPower" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.BuyingPower, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: InitialMargin" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.InitialMargin, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: IntradayMargin" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.IntradayMargin, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: RealizedProfitLoss" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.RealizedProfitLoss, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
				Print("CheckAccount: PositionMargin" + Account.GetAccountItem(AccountItem.PositionMargin, Currency.UsDollar).Value);
			}
		}	
	}
}

Modified the script some - to try and identify where account info may be reported instead of always presenting ****

EDIT - the **** appears to not show the actual .value in the ToString(). Wish it did for debugging purpose.

I confirmed IB account is not throwing the error but NTC is

I would like to trade with my NinjaTrader Continuum account - can you advise how to resolve this?

This was in my Trace log

Looks that configuration missing

I was reviewing the Trace log and it appears that a configuration is missing. I tried removing and adding the connection and it still results in the same issue.

Hello MarketAlly,

Thank you for your information.

Can you advise if this occurs with your strategy on the Sim101 account?
Does this occur with the SampleMaCrossOver for any of your live accounts?

In addition, can you attach the full .cs file you are testing to your response?

[MarketAlly]

I see the issue - NT8 likes to keep settings even after I remove the account. When I removed the old account - it left the Account labels to be selected rather than removing them even though I removed Connection.

I have a video showing the old ones remaining.

It appears after I re-added the connection - the new values work.

I also noticed that if you type in a wrong value in the historical data Instrument dropdown - it will always stay in the list even if not pinned. Not sure how to clean up the list in the dropdown.

Hello MarketAlly,

Thank you for your patience.

Please go to the Accounts tab > right click on any accounts listed that should not be listed > select Remove Account.

For the instruments, hover over the instrument and press Delete on the keyboard.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
