Hello abdo2682,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please send me the license key you are presently using within NinjaTader to support at sign ninjatrader dot com Attn: Chris so I may attempt to test on my end.

Your license key can be retrieved by going to the Control Center-->Help-->Licese key

I look forward to assisting you with this issue.

Any updates on why this is happening?

Hello abdo2682,

Your license you have entered under Help-->License is set to connect to Zen-Fire, which prevents you from creating a connection to TD AMERITRADE.

The NinjaTrader free license will allow you to create a TD AMERITRADE connection. If you do not have one, please send us an email.

Ameritrade AND Zen-Fire Connection

I would like to connect to TD Ameritrade AND Zen-Fire at the same time. Zen-Fire for futures data and Ameritrade for Tick, Trin, and Vix. Is this possible? If so, what are the mechanics? Do I need a special license other than the one I have for the Zen-Fire account?

Hello TrendTracker,

Thank you for your post.

Yes, this is possible. Essentially, it is just a matter of connecting to both TD Ameritrade and Zen-Fire. For more information about how NinjaTrader handles multiple connections please see the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...nections1.html

As far as licensing is concerned, to trade in your live account, a multi-broker license would be required. To trade in simulation, the free version of NinjaTrader would meet your needs.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we may be of further assistance.

license key wish list

I generally use IB for data and trading. However certain work on the weekends requires that I switch to my free license key in order to use Ameritrade's data. For the wish list -- I wish there was a radio button option in the license key window to switch from the live trading licence to the free license and back again with one click.
