Hello,

I'm trying to connect using IB TWS. I've changed my TWS settings according to http://www.ninjatrader.com/Connectio...tion-Guide.php. When I try to connect from NT7, the TWS login screen comes up. I successfully enter my authentication codes and TWS loads. The problem is that TWS then closes after 1 min and NT7 keeps opening and closing TWS, never forming a connection.

What do I need to change?

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Please remove out the username and password and re-enter them. This is normally a sign that the username and password are not correctly entered.

Also, to be clear your not getting any error?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks for the quick reply. I removed the username and password, then attempted to reconnect. The problem persists.

I do not get any errors in the NT7 log other than a TimeOut waiting for TWS. Also, TWS never prompts me to accept the incoming API attempt like it did in older versions.

Hello,

Can you please go into the configure menu for TWS and make sure under API that the Active X connections are enabled as detailed in this connection guide.

If it is enabled and you are still running into issues please let me know and email me at support at ninjatrader dot com and reference this forum post and include your phone number so that we may call and remotely assist.

I look forward to assisting you further.
