IB connection problems?

[heech]

Tried logging into IB today, and haven't touched IB or NT settings. But for some reason, the automated connection (using connect->...) is failing. It looks like my password is being appended to the username in the login box.

No idea what that's about. Never seen it before. Any suggestions? I hve this happening on two machines, so unlikely it's a coincidence.

Nevermind, maybe I was just too happy with the alt-tabbing... seems okay again.

I have the same problem, did you find a fix?

skyland, please make sure you use the recommend TWS version 892 with NinjaTrader 6.5.1000.9 - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/su...ivebrokers.htm

I have been since the release. I have had other Ninja support personal try to help with the problem, but no luck so far!

Can you log on to TWS normally first and then connect NinjaTrader to IB? I would suggest your remove the IB connection under Tools > Account connections and then go to Tools > Options > Misc and Repair the DB. Then reset the IB connection as per this guide - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/su...ivebrokers.htm

My only working theory is that I was switching between programs/windows too fast, and confused NT's login mechanism.

All I did was close down the program, start it up... (and no alt-tabbing to other windows), and it worked on the second try.

It hasn't shown up again.
