Thanks, NinjaTrader_Adrian. I recommend some rewording of the explanation for the IB Gateway. Currently, it reads as if only status information is available via that product, implying that only the status of existing Orders at IB is available, and that Orders cannot be submitted or managed from within NinjaTrader via the Gateway. From what you are saying though, it seems the IB Gateway can also be used to submit and manage Orders, but using only NinjaTrader-originated windows (standard built-in, or NinjaScript objects). Is that correct? If so, updated wording would make it clearer.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, you are correct. IB Gateway can also be used to submit and manage orders but only using the NinjaTrader Platform. In regards to the wording on the connection guide what exact sentence are you referring to? Please include a screenshot so I may pass this to our product management team to correct this in the connection guide.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks, NinjaTrader_Adrian. It's as posted a few posts above here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...43#post1232243 The description of IB Gateway is, as already discussed, in need of updating to make it accurately reflect what you have confirmed.

Thanks.
