Why SPY charts not updating?

[M_ichel]

Hi everyone.

SPY is updating properly on TWS (IBKR) but not in NinjaTrader... Other tickers (QQQ, NVDA, TSLA) are all updating properly...

What could the reason be? Thanks.

Hello M_ichel ,

Thank you for reaching out.

When using an Interactive Brokers account to connect to NinjaTrader, you must use the version of Trader Workstation or IB Gateway that is specified within the NinjaTrader — Interactive Brokers Connection Guide seen below:

• https://support.ninjatrader.com/s/ar...language=en_US
  • TWS 10.23.2a - Download
  • IB Gateway 10.23.2a - Download
    • Please refer to the Connection Guide above for the Configuration settings of each
    • If you have another version of TWS or IB Gateway on the computer, I suggest uninstalling it first to remove confusion moving forward

Once you have the version of Trader Workstation or IB Gateway as specified above, connect to your account within TWS or IB Gateway.

• After you are connected in TWS or IB Gateway, you are then able to connect to the account within NinjaTrader.

From here connect to your account and test if the charts are updating.

If the charts are still not updating, please use the steps below to reset the instruments:

1. Disconnect from any data providers by navigating to the Control Center > Connections menu, and left-click on “disconnect” that appears to the right when hovering your mouse over any active connection
2. Reset your instruments by navigating to the Control Center > Tools > Database Management
3. In the Database Management window, under the “Update instruments” section, ensure that “General properties”, "Futures expiries" and “Symbol mappings” options are checked and then click Update
4. Restart NinjaTrader

Reopen NinjaTrader and connect to your account/data and test if the charts are updating.

If they are still not updating:

Please send in your log and trace files so that we may look more into what may be occurring.

You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Email Support

Make sure to categorize your request at the top.

Ensure 'Log and Trace Files' is checked will include these files. This is checked by default.

If you could also provide a screenshot of what you are seeing, that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, we look forward to helping resolve this issue for you.

Hi Erick. (I was already using TWS 10.23.2a)

I followed your instructions and after restarting NinjaTrader, all my charts are updating as usual.

Problem solved. Thank you much!
