New IB Version Required 1019.2

[Gibranes]

For now I use IBKR desktop, they use tradingview as support.
They are just starting, maybe in the future they can do backtests and other things.
You should also not contract external data as in TWS.

Hello Guys,
I have succesfully had live data loaded with latest TWS 10.23.2a or TWS 10.19.X with NT 8.1.1.7. or NT 8.0.28.0
I live in Europe and trade E mini futur and US stock like SPY AAPL ... It is quite easy to do the setting. I set everything to Newyork time as if I live in Newyork. Please follow the following steps:
1/Close TWS and NT
2/ Set computer time date to UTC -05:00 Est US and Canada
Click Sync now
3/ Go to Folder Document/ Ninjatrader 8/ db
Rename folder : day to dayold , minute to minuteold , tick to tickold . By rename thoses folders you do not lose any data in case you want to go back.
create 3 new folders : day , minute , tick . New data will be loaded and can not be mixed with old data .
delete everything in the db/cache folder
4/ Open TWS 10.23.2a . Go to More Options
Set Region to America
Set time zone to UTC - 05:00 EST5EDT ( Newyork time)
Open TWS as usual.
5/ Open NT 8.1.1.7
Load 1 new window to test with only 1 stock daily or minute with fews data like 2,3 days . There will be no data (blank window)
Go to Connections and Click Interactive Brokers.
You should get data live loading and update.
Sometimes the log will say MANY TIMES : your API version does not support fractional share rules ...... just ignore it because it will stop by itself .
You should get live data at this time.
You have to load more data to get new data base.
Please let me know if you guys have any issues.
One inconvenient : your PC time is not your country time. I do it unstead of sitting there waiting for the release of the next fix version of NT.

Thanks, normandy. This seems to work, although I only tested the setup during the weekend non-trading hours.

Let's see if the US setup works with live data.

It'll be a challenge sorting out the two sets of data in future.

max333,

It has been a while since you posted.
I am running into the same issue you did.
My Computer is set up for Pacific Time Zone , [NOT Eastern Time Zone].

Should I set my Software to the Eastern Time Zone?
Is this what worked for you?

Hi, GTBrooks

I use ET settings throughout on a separate computer, so as not to mess up data.

Good luck!

Hello,

Both issues are marked as fixed in the next release from our development team, so once the new version is publicly available installing should resolve these issues.

Hi

Any news on this NT update promised over 6 months ago to fix data problems for IB/NT users outside the US?

I tried NT 8.1.2 but the problems remain.

Thanks.
