Calculating... IB with User apps Share Script

[PaulMohn]

This User Apps share one keeps calculating with IB, only the indicator does not plot, the data feed works all right.

After investigation, I found it only stops plotting when more than one AddDataSeries() are present in the code.

In other words, it plots with this:

                else if (State == State.Configure)
                {
                    //[0][0] = current data series
                    AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); //[1][0]
                }​        

               protected override void OnBarUpdate()
              {
              if (CurrentBars[0] < 1 || CurrentBars[1] < 1)
                return;​

but this does not plot:

                else if (State == State.Configure)
                {
                    //[0][0] = current data series
                    AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30); //[1][0]
                    AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); //[2][0]​
                }​        

               protected override void OnBarUpdate()
              {
              if (CurrentBars[0] < 1 || CurrentBars[1] < 1 || CurrentBars[2] < 1)
                return;​

Can a Ninjascript rep test the script with IB and share the solution?
In all there are 8 AddDataSeries() that should be working in this script.

Hello PaulMohn,

Thank you for your post.

So I may accurately assist you, please answer all of the following questions:

• What version of NinjaTrader are you using? Please provide the entire version number. This can be found under Help -> About (Example: 8.?.?.?)
• What instrument symbol (and expiry if applicable) have you selected? For example, ES 03-22, AAPL, EURUSD, etc.
• What interval is selected for your chart? For example, 5 minute, 1 day, 2000 volume, 4 Renko, etc.
• How many days have you selected to load in the Data Series window?
• When the indicator is not plotting as expected, are there any error messages on the Log tab of the Control Center? If so, what do the errors report?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello Emily,

8.0.28.0 64-bit

NQ 12-23, CL 01-24, GC 02-24

tested on 1 min, 15 min

3 days. Tested also on 15 days to load.

No Log Tab error.

In the OP's video it shows as working on a 8.0. version.

Hello PaulMohn,

Thank you for that information.

I would also like to double check - are you using TWS or IB Gateway, and which version of the program are you using for your IB connection? Are you editing the script to only add one data series vs. call AddDataSeries() multiple times? To clarify - when multiple data series are attempted to be added, the chart just shows "Calculating" and the indicator does not load? If that is the case, what are the results if you leave the chart to load for several minutes?

Please provide a screenshot of the chart's data series settings as well as the settings you have set up for the indicator when it is applied to the chart.

• To send a screenshot with Windows 10 or newer I would recommend using the Windows Snipping Tool.
  • Click here for instructions
• Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save it as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

I look forward to your reply.

TWS 10.23 15 Jun 2023

When I load the script without doing any editing to it it stays stuck indefinitely (I shut the chart after 30 minutes).

When I comment out all but any single one those lines (206-13) the script plots.

AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1); //[1][0]barsAtLine1
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5); //[2][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15); //[3][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30); //[4][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); //[5][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 240); //[6][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1); //[7][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Week, 1); //[8][0]











With only uncommented AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); //[5][0]

// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1); //[1][0]barsAtLine1
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 5); //[2][0]
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 15); //[3][0]
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 30); //[4][0]
AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 60); //[5][0]
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 240); //[6][0]
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Day, 1); //[7][0]
// AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Week, 1); //[8][0]

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your reply.

"TWS 10.23 15 Jun 2023"
The current supported version of TWS for use with NinjaTrader Desktop is 10.23.2a and it may be downloaded via the link in the connection guide here:

https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/article/Connecting-to-Your-Interactive-Brokers-Account?language=en_US

Please test this with TWS 10.23.2a and report back with the results.

I look forward to your reply.

[PaulMohn]

Hello Emily,

It was that 2a version already after trying to reinstall.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your patience.

As a test, I have created a simple script that makes the same calls to AddDataSeries() and prints to the NinjaScript Output window. Please download the attached AddDataSeriesTest script and import it via Control Center > Tools > Import > NinjaScript AddOn. Open a NinjaScript Output window then apply this indicator to a chart to test it out. Check if it completes calculating and review the output sent to the NinjaScript Output window.

I look forward to hearing the results.

[PaulMohn]

Thank you for the test file.

It too keeps calculating. With no prints in the output, nor any Log Tab error.



Sill calculating 20 mins in.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your patience.

I would like to review your diagnostic files via email. You can send these files by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support. Ensuring 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default. Please include "ATTN Emily C" in the subject line and a link to this forum thread in the body of the email before clicking Send.

I look forward to further investigating this item.

To answer the following:

I do see that, based on your time zone, you appear to be located outside of the United States. I am aware of some issues that were affecting Interactive Brokers users outside of the US when trying to load daily data, and this may be part of what is affecting you as well since you are using version 8.0.28.0.

This item should be resolved in the latest version of NinjaTrader 8.1. To update to the latest version of NinjaTrader Desktop please follow the steps below.

...

Please test the AddDataSeriesTest script on version 8.1.2.1 with TWS 10.23.2a and if the prints are sent to the NinjaScript Output window successfully, test out the script you imported from the User App Share as well.


It too keeps calculating with 8.1.1.7 version. With no prints in the output, nor any Log Tab error.



What is the Ninjascript rep test result with the script with IB TWS 10.23.2a and 8.0.28.0 version?
What solution did they find?
It should be them doing the testing going forward and reporting the solution.

Hello PaulMohn,

Thank you for your reply.

"Please test the AddDataSeriesTest script on version 8.1.2.1 with TWS 10.23.2a and if the prints are sent to the NinjaScript Output window successfully, test out the script you imported from the User App Share as well."

I requested that you please test this on NinjaTrader Desktop version 8.1.2.1 specifically. This behavior could still potentially occur on 8.1.1.7. Per the release notes for 8.1.2, a fix for isse # 3437 was implemented and "Resolved a scenario that prevented some non-US users to not be able to load data"

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/8_1_2_1.htm

Since we are located in the U.S. we have not been able to reproduce this behavior on version 8.0.28.0 in our testing. From our experience with this item and the users who reported it, this only affects non-U.S.-based users and the update to version 8.1.2.1 specifically is required.

Thank you for your time and patience.

[PaulMohn]

8.1.2.1 keeps the chart from loading.

[PaulMohn]

8.0.28.0 plots on VMWare fresh install machine.



Why not on the regular machine?
How to avoid having to reinstall everything on a new fresh install for it to work?
