NT 7 and TWS Config

[snaphook]

I have NT 7 set to auto logon to IB TWS when started, which it does very well. A problem arises, however, when I try to configure TWS. For instance, if I try to change the autoLogOff time for TWS, when I click in the time box to change 10:00 PM to, say, 6:00 PM by changing 10 to 06, as soon as I move the cursor to the 10, it immediately resets to the end of the box, after 10:00 and if I try to backspace over 10:00, the field is immediately reset to 10:00. Also, if I exit TWS while NT is running, the dialog asking for confirmation of TWS exit is automatically punched in with a yes and TWS shuts down. If I load a future contract, TWS asks if I want the underlying, which is also auto punched in with a yes.

It is as if NT is sending a CR/LF to TWS every second or so. If I load TWS w/o NT, it behaves normally and allows config and proper exit.

Hello snaphook,

Thank you for your post.

What version of the TWS are you running?

When configuring the TWS software are you connecting to Interactive Brokers through NinjaTrader?

Build 911.3, Nov. 18, 2010
Jolt Build 1.1.7
Nia Build 1.7.7
ModelNav Build 1.1.29

Java Version 1.6.0_22
WindowsXP SP3

I have tried using NT to start TWS and starting TWS before starting NT. Either way, as long as I am connected the problem exists.

Hello snaphook,

Prior to taking further steps to trouble shoot this issue, you must use standalone TWS 906 (browser version NOT supported) with the current production release of NinjaTrader - Download

It will be necessary to uninstall your current version then download & install the supported version of TWS.
