Forex market data via API for Ninjatrader

[philmg]

Hi,
I am setting up NT with IB via API. It works already for forex data with IDEALPRO FX (IDEAL PRO) free market data for charts for example. I have all the data for FX in the chart going years back. However, when I use the strategy analyzer the data does not seem to be available there. I also don't seem to be able to download more historic market data in NT to make it available. Am I missing some API limitation here?

Download and strategy analyzer are just stuck, because there is not data stream I guess.

Best regards
Philipp

My bad, it wasn't stuck, the data did actualyy download from IB, but it took a few hours.

Hello,

Please note Interactive Brokers restricts the amount of historical data that can be requested from their API, so if requesting large amounts of data you will see delays as only so much data is allowed every 10 minutes.
