NT to IB advisor

[hsors]

Can Nijetrader connect to an IB advisor account and let IB allocate the shares to the sub accounts according to the default allocation rules set on IB ?
Thanks

Hello hsors,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!

You can connect to this type of account, however allocation as defined in TWS is not supported.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Then it's not very useful to connect if it's not possible to trade. Do I miss something ? Thanks.

Hi hsors,

Thank you for your reply.

Trading is possible, however allocation would need to occur manually.

[hsors]

Thank you.
Two more questions if I may:
1) do you have plan to remove this limitation ?
2) can I trade directly the sub accounts - all together in an automated way, from a Tradestation strategy?

Hello hsors,

Thank you for your reply.

1.) I have heard no official word on the addition of support for this component of IB.

2.) Can you elaborate on this?

I have an IB advisor account with several client accounts underneath. I want to use NijaTrader to bridge between Tradestation and each IB sub account. In other words I want to convey buy & sell signals coming from a tradestation strategy to my IB sub accounts in an automated way. Is it possible ? Thanks

Hello hsors,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, this type of integration would be possible through use of the email or dll interfaces.
However, order quantity would need to be managed in the strategy itself.
