Interactive brokers Ninjatrader connection

[XXtrader]

Using latest IB version, and ninjatrader 8. Simple indicators not showing up on ninjatrader like price line. Prices doesnt doesn't update (paying live data), i have to reload chart to get updated. Seriously wtf?
And its freaking slow to load data for like 20 days. Any suggestion or just dump ninjatrader?

Hello XXtrader,

Thank you for your message.


To properly receive data and make trades through IB using NinjaTrader 8, you will need to use TWS version 985.1g, which may be downloaded directly from our IB Connection Guide linked below:

NinjaTrader — Interactive Brokers Connection Guide

Once you have downloaded the updated version of TWS required to work with IB in NinjaTrader, continue to follow along with that Connection Guide to ensure that everything is set up and enabled for the two programs to communicate and work correctly with one another. Using NinjaTrader 8 with any other version of the TWS platform will result in unexpected behavior as these versions are not officially supported.

As always, feel free to write in with any additional questions you have regarding NinjaTrader.
