I receiveError 7: User alreadylogged in [/align]
[align=left]This usually happens if your PC crashed or NinjaTrader did not shut down properly. Call your broker and have them reset your account. Then reboot your PC and log back in.
I receive Error 7: Application Unknown
Your broker has not properly authorized your account to use NinjaTrader. Call your broker and inform then that their servers are returning the error message (Error 7: Application Unknown) and that they have not set up your account properly. They should then be able to fix this within minutes.
I try to connect but nothing happens...
This is usually a result of incorrect server information entered in the Patsystems set up tab of the NinjaTrader settings Manager. First verify that you have the following information from your broker:
User Name
Password
Host Address
Host Port
Price Address
Price Port
If the broker's server are SuperTAS enabled (yes or no)
This is the information that you will need to enter into the Patsystems set up tab of the NinjaTrader Settings Manager.
- A common mistake is that the server is a SuperTAS server and this option does not have a 'check mark' beside it.
- Check each of the parameters that you entered in the NinjaTrader Patsystems set up tab character by character and ensure that there are periods where periods are suppose to be, the numbers are correct, user name/password combination are correct and that there are no additional spaces trailing any of the server address values.
- Is the server type correctly set up? If you are connecting to your live trading account, then the server type should be set to 'LIVE'. If you are testing NinjaTrader on a temporary free trial offered through a broker then ask them if the server should be set to 'LIVE' or 'TEST'.
If all settings are correct, press the'Apply' button
