Jason,

I had the default checked as well as the additional exchange and that seemed to cause the conflict. When I just checked the additonal exchange, it seems to work now.

So you are tellling me, Ninjatrader will not pull up quotes automatically on stocks that are not already in the instrument manager? That makes it difficult to trade on the fly, dont you think? Is there a better way to do this?

How exactly do you change or select instruments in a chart?

Likely these stock symbols are used on different exchanges as well, so you need to assign only the exchange it is actually traded on.

If you do not receive data for a stock, please check what exchanges are enabled. Try it with only the exchange the instrument is traded on or in combination with the Default exchange.

Modify it in the Instrument Manager and click OK to save the modification.

Jason,

I enter them into the order tab or just from the chart...

Jason,

I closed NinjaTrader and restarted it... Now no charts are working just the loading data.....

Can you please check the exchanges enabled of the instruments selected in your charts.

Please only enable the exchange the stock is traded on and click OK. Restart NinjaTrader and check if the charts load the requested data.

If not, restart NinjaTrader and please close the charts before you connect to IB. Once connected, please open up your charts one by one and check which instruments do not load data.
