Connectivity problem with Interactive Brokers that I don't understand

[pstrusi]

I've done all upgrades to connect IB-TWS with NT-7. So far the connection and data work flawlessly, as always, even I've done all Algorithm simulations with sim101 account, and all are perfect. As you can imagine, all technical configuration has been done properly in TWS-IB and Ninjatrader desktop.

Now, I'm ready to deploy a new Algo that will work with my real Interactive Brokers account, as I've done many times in the past. So, when I activate it, all works well, but as soon as an order is generated and transmitted to IB, I receive this message that I don't understand cause I have all upgraded:

Trigger Outside RTH was deprecated. Please upgrade your API Client software to submit orders with Outside RTH attribute instead. 10316

The TWS-IB version that I use is: Build 10.23.2a, Jun 15, 2023 4:54:18 PM
Obviously, I have configured in TWS-IB that all orders outside RTH could be filled, so this is driving me nuts.


Can you please advise me, what I have to change? I think that maybe I would need to some a new API installation. Somehow I thought that API would be upgraded with the TWS new installation. Am I right?

Thanks a lot

- It's a pity that you don't support IB for NT7, one of the most used brokers.

- At this time, I'll try to solve my technical problem and stick with NT7. I'm not ready for NT8 yet. A long time ago was a memory nightmare.

I want to ask you something:


Ninjatrader platform has integrated within itself APIs, such as InteractiveBrokers, so in spite of I can upgrade my desktop API-IB version, it doesn't really upgrade the API version of the Ninjatrader platform?

Hello,
Thank you for the note.

NinjaTrader 7 is no longer receiving updates. So, it will be left with the last version of the API it was updated with.
Unfortunately, Interactive Brokers connection is no longer supported in NinjaTrader 7 and there are no plans to update the adapters within it any further.

NinjaTrader 8 is still actively receiving new updates and if we find that the API adapter being used needs to be updated to maintain expected behavior, then our Development team would update it.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks for your clear answer Oxana. I have to manage the transition then.
