NT and InteractiveBrokers

[Plaket]

Hi,

I have a Family and Friends account in InteractiveBrokers, could you tell me what version of NT and TWS I have to install? Must I install a special version or can I install the normal versions?

I know that there was a problem with it some times ago.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Plaket,

The current version of NinjaTrader and Traders Workstation supported together is NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.16 and Traders Workstation 938.1.

You may find a link to download TWS 938.1 (and the current supported version of TWS) at the following link.

Note that the automated order allocation feature for Friends and Family accounts available in TWS is not supported within NinjaTrader

Thank you,

I know that it was a problem with the account selector of the TWS some times ago. Is it solved with this configuration?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Plaket,

I am not sure if the account is available in the selector but the reason why it is not supported is in the API version of TWS that we support does not allow for multiple accounts to be updated at once, only 1 at a time.

TWS as updated their API to update a porfolio that will solve this but we currently do not support this yet. Our Development team is looking into updating this but we do not have an ETA on when this will be done.
