NinjaTrader on separate computers to share Interactive Broker connection

[bc24fl]

Hello bc24fl,

Thank you for your reply.

The Client ID and TWS Master API client ID must match. This would only be applicable if a client is placing orders from another third party app to their Interactive Brokers account and also connecting Interactive Brokers to NinjaTrader and wanting to see those orders/executions within NinjaTrader. The API client with a specific client ID will receive all orders and trades even though places by other API clients. Only this API client will be able to receive commission reports for all elevations.

I would leave the client ID at 0 unless you are using a third-party app that is not NinjaTrader, TWS, or IB Gateway.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Well I tried it but it refused to connect to client 0 on the 2nd PC. So if one PC is using client id of 0 the other PC only works if client id is 1 or another number.
