Interactive broker issue with 10.23.2a NT8 chart

[BoganNQ]

Hi, are there taders here using IB as their broker? Was looking at opening an accout with them, do you find any issues with the chart loading to NT8 using their market data and the TWS interface? also what market data feed do you use to have bid and ask data for market replays?

Hello BoganNQ,

Thank you for your post.

I will leave the thread open for others to comment but for reference, I have provided the connection guide for Interactive Brokers here.

Also for your Market Replay inquiry, here is a publicly available link to our Youtube video that provides a brief overview of downloading Market Replay data, connecting to the Playback Connection, and replaying data on your Charts.

How to Download Market Replay Data

To use the Playback Connection you will first need to download Market Replay data for the Instruments and Days you wish to replay.

• Go to the Control Center > Tools > Historical Data window and select the "Load" tab. Expand the "Get Market Replay data" section.
• Select the Instrument and Date of your desired replay data and press the 'OK' button to begin the download.

A complete overview of this process may be read here in our NinjaTrader Help Guide - How to Download Playback Data

Using the Playback Connection

To start playback, disconnect from any other connections, and then connect to the Playback Connection from the Control Center > Connections dropdown. Select the time frame for the Market Replay Data you want to view. The Playback Controller will only display dates for instruments and times you have downloaded on your computer.

You may also check what data you have available by right-clicking on the Playback Controller and selecting 'Available data'. Data will only be displayed within the selected time frame.

Additional Notes:

• NinjaTrader provides about 90 days of Market Replay data for popular Futures instruments.
• Although you may only download one day of data at a time, you are not limited in how many days' worth of data you can download in total, and you will not be prevented from replaying data older than 90 days so long as you have the files saved on your computer.
• Historical Tick data may be used in the Playback Connection in place of Market Replay data, but please keep in mind this option may not be as accurate or reliable as Market Replay data.
