Thank you for your post.
It looks like your oif file might be in the wrong format.
Try renaming it to something like oif132.txt (instead of test132.oif.txt).
Please let me know if this doesn't guide you in the right direction.
i tried, it's the same problem.

yes and yesOriginally posted by NinjaTrader_Gaby View PostHello,
May I confirm the AT Interface is enabled in the Control Center's Tools > Options > Automated Trading Interface menu?
Has the OIF file been attached into the incoming folder?
If yes, can you please provide the file here for review.

oif files are supposed to be .txt, so that's correct. However, they're supposed be in the format oif*.txt where the asterisk can be any number.it doesn't let me to upload oif file so i changed it to txt before sent.
tst4.txt would not be a valid format. Try using something like oif1.txt or oif132.txt as previously mentioned.
