Interactiv brokers Stocks data

[greenhollow803]

Hi,

I am able to successfully connect to Interactive Brokers and get the data for my Volumetric charts.

For Futures everything working fine.
But for stocks when I load the chart its showing the data only from that minute onwards on Volumetric chart. I am not able to get the historical foot print data. For futures I can see historical data as well like last 5 days data.

But for Stocks only from the moment when I load the chart it shows data. Are there any settings I need to enable for Stocks to see historical data?

Hello greenhollow803,

Thank you for the message.

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:

• Click here to see the Interactive Brokers Connection guide
  • 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 use the following steps to send your log and trace files to the support team directly from your NinjaTrader Platform so we may investigate this behavior further:
