Thank you for contacting Schwab Trader API. We are currently working with Ninja Trader and other commercial applications for review, approval, and integration into the Schwab Trader API endpoint. We are in the process of finalizing the documentation so we can provide this to Ninja Trader to do the technical integration into the new Schwab offering. Once they integrate into our Trader API you would be able to connect your Schwab brokerage account to their platform. There are no further updates at this time.

Sincerely,

Schwab Trader API Support

Hello,

I have no update from our technology team at this time to update unfortunately.

In the absence of technology team support, one wonders if NinjaTrader has actually filed an application with Schwab and is aware that such a thing as "Schwab Trader API" actually exists and is supposedly being finalized for integration by NinjaTrader (who knows by when). Also, wondering if NinjaTrader can confirm at least this much of information.

Schwab -TDA migration will end in June 2024. Whether their API, if any, gets integrated into NinjaTrader remains to be seen (before Schwab is sold to someone else).

Cheers!

This is next week. What is the plan? Am I going to be locked out? If so, for how long? Do I need to figure out a migration plan to a different broker?

Hello all,

I can confirm our team has received documentation from TDA/Schwab on the new API, but I cannot estimate a timetable as to when this will be completed and through testing for a future release. As soon as I have any concrete information from our team I will update this thread asap.

Ok, thank you for the status update Ryan.

OK, no timetable, but hopefully that is not like building a Noah's Arc.

But, can you confirm that now the ball is in NinjaTrader's court to come up with a fuctional API. The other question is will the API work for other NT 8.0 versions (i.e. 8.0.27) since many license holders have issues with newer 8.1 versions.

Cheers!

Hello,

Correct, once our team finishes a build with a new API connection to Schwab this should restore functionality for Schwab account holders.

Please make sure the API works for NT 8.0.28.
