Thanks J! Just opened an IB account and NT account based on your YT video! Can't thank you enough! The only thing I had to Google was how to get "configure" to show up during the NT setup - just had to enable "Multi-provider" under Tools>General>Preferences. Off to figure out how to/what data feed I need as I am not using anything from IB but linking my account. 3rd step is to hopefully find a video on how you setup your charts and stuff.
Dear Jacob, thank you very much for taking time to produce produce this great video. Without your guidance and expertise, I never would have been able to day trade using the IBKR platforms because their platforms under paper trading conditions are not very good. By connecting data from the IBKR system to the Ninja Trader platform I am now able to simulate a paper trading system for the E mini micro futures contract using the Ninja Trader platform. Again, thank you so very much for this great video.
Good presentation. In your demo you show how to connect to IB. But is it possible to connect to IB only for Trades part and connect to Kinectic or Rithmic for realtine Market Data (level2) ?
Hi Jacob, Thank you very much for the video. I have connnected my IBKR account with Ninja Trader succesfully via IB Gateway. but when i connect it with IB, does not show my account. only show me SIM account. I have configured market data and every thing still not showing. Please advise.
You may need to enable Multi-Provier Mode in Ninja Desktop. From the Control Center window, select the menu “Tools” > “Options” Check “Multi-provider” and select OK
Hello, thanks for this video. I struggle with IB connection with Nt8. It takes too long to update a chart, either to change the asset ticker or time frame. Is this normal?
Thank you Jacob for your IBKR and Ninjatrader connection, I followed the video step by step connection to connect my Interactive broker account to Ninjatrader 8 platform, it work but I can only see the Sim101 account and not the IB live account, can you please help please and thank you
Thanks for the video bro, question, i use already NT8 with a propfirm. But i want to open with Interactive broker. I need to open a new NT8 or i can use the same after follow your configuration? Thank you for your reply
Thanks for this video, But how did you create your live account with Ninja as it is not allowed in Canada ? How did you get the licence before connect it to IB ? Thanks for your help
Hey. this was extremely valuable. This would have taken me a very long time to figure out if you had not put this out here. Thank you so much, sir. Seriously.
Jacob, this is what I am looking for a while, thanks a lot. My question is that it is possible to do automated trading. Get signal on NJ, and send order to IB, and get order status from IB?
Great video thank you! Only problem I have is my lock and exit does not give me the option to select between logoff and restart. Any idea why that might be?
Very helpful, thanks. I am, however, only able to see my sim account and not the funded account. To clarify, I logged in with my real account details and I cannot see my funds on Ninja Trader Accounts tab. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jacob, thanks for the video! I tried this morning to follow your instructions step by step (even bought the data bundle), but I'm still not able to place order with my real account plus It missing bars, for exemple I don't see bar from 6:00 am till the moment I connect ( 11:00 am for exemple). I have an historical message error. Did you had this kind of problem?
Great video many thanks! I got a problem with my historical data! I'm on the demo account right now and the connection with IBKR work except I can't load Historical data for the morning session. If I disconnect for 30 minutes per example, my chart don't show me the data for the last 30 minutes! Do you think it's because I'm on the demo account of Ninja trader? When I looked at the Gateaway, The historical data farm is inactive! I've subscribed for the market data since a couple of months and it's work very well on TWS. Many thanks for your helpb
This is a great guide! I managed to get everything running, thanks! One remaining question I have is how to create a commission template for IBKR. I would love it if you made a video covering that, or pointed at an already existing template configured for IB. Thanks again for all you do!
I followed all explained and it connected. But l my esmini candles are not moving. Is it because I am using interactive brokers free trial? Please answer me
Hi bro thank you for informative video. I have one doubt please clarify Can we get orderflow chart with interactive brokers data in ninja trader 8? Orderflow tools like mzpack ...
Hey Jacob thanks very much for the video. Was a bit of a mission getting everything going with Interactive Broker's, but your video helped alot with what I needed to do. Thankyou.
Do you run a separate data feed with IB to ninjatrader? IB doesn't support tick data so thinking I should get kinetick and use it with IB account on Ninja Trader
hi, thanks for the video. I want to trade micro s&p500, I have an account with interactivebrokers. I can trade micro on ninjatrader using this guide in the video and the second question is it possible to trade directly with interactivebrokers? I just do everything in tradingview and I just need to open and close a deal
Thank you for the video. I followed your video and everything is connected and green, but Ninjatrader is only showing the Sim101 account. Do you have an idea what could be wrong? I'm using port 7497 which was my default. Thanks
My IB account doesn't have the us equity and options ad on or the us security snapshot and futures value bundle option in my settings. I do have an IB lite account so maybe that has something to do with it. I did get approved for futures trading so I'm not quite sure what to do from there.
I just quickly went through your video about using AWS so I assume you're running this on a VPS. So basically you are running NinjaTrader with IB Gateway remotely and any time you need to access NinjaTrader directly, you have to use a remote desktop? I'm working on a bot and seeing IBKR's issue that it only allows one connection at a time, which is totally insane, and I figured that using a remote desktop might be the only option. Are you still using IBKR or are there any other brokers that you think are better for avoiding this limitation?
Hey FreeMarketSwine, yes, I remote into a windows desktop that has NinjaTrader running with IB Gateway. I am using other brokers, but they too only want 1 connection at a time for privacy/safety purposes I am assuming.
@@gabrieleiberti2877 I put what I was working on previously on pause and am only recently coming back to it. I haven't tried it yet, but apparently you can create additional usernames through the IBKR website to allow multiple logins.
Thanks for the video!! I see that you have multiple Interactive broker accounts showing only with one IB connection in NinjaTrader? How do you get that? Do you open a Financial advisor account through IB?
Is it possible to use OCO operations with interactive brokers in ninjatrader? Because i bought Ninuatrader with Td ameritrade broker and i cant modify the orders i dont know why
@@jacobamaral If I buy ninjatrader 8 with the TD ameritrade broker, can I use the platform with another broker or only with that one? or do I have to buy the platform back with another broker?
Is there a way to access the daily margin report in IB programatically? Sorry if it's a bit out of context. I am trying to use the IB api to build a tool not for trading but for analysing my own account history.
Hi Jacob, I did everything and connected my NT and IB just like you said, the only problem is that my feed populates slowly and it only started populating when I connected, it doesn't populate the chart backwards and if I change the stock everything starts from scratch. I tried support in NT and they tell me that they checked my account and everything is fine, that it must be IB. Can you help me with this?, thanks!
Great video, do you know if you can use stock CFDs through IBKR using Ninja Trader? I tried it a while ago and it wasn´t possible, but maybe things have changed
Great video! I had a question about interactive brokers. What is the oldest date of the historical bar data that you get with equities? Like from what year does the historical data start?
If I use Interactive Brokers as my broker but buy the lifetime licence for Ninja trader and connect it to IB what other fees do I pay to ninja trader. Do I also pay Ninjatrader (as well as IB) for any orders I place?
You only pay commissions where the trades are placed live, which would be IBKR's commission fees and possibly IBKR live data fees if needed aside from NinjatTrader's live data.

Hello, thanks for this video. I struggle with IB connection with Nt8. It takes too long to update a chart, either to change the asset ticker or time frame. Is this normal?
Yes IB's data provider is incredibly slow on API calls. Kinetick and CQG are much faster.
thanks Jacob , i would never able to connect my IB account to ninja trader without your video. Excellent help. Thankyou

You can use the same steps, Ninja can have multiple broker connections but you will have to pay $99 a month to unlock this feature.
@@jacobamaral thank you bro for your reply
Can you help me when it comes to connecting the API? It tells me API support is not available for accounts that support free trading.
Hey Vivi, yes you must buy the Ninja multi broker license to connect IBKR to Ninja. If you don't want to do that then use Ninja as a broker.
Thank you! Been struggling to connect for a couple of weeks, 10 mins after your video I'm finally connetced!
Sweet!
Thanks for this video, But how did you create your live account with Ninja as it is not allowed in Canada ? How did you get the licence before connect it to IB ? Thanks for your help

Can you get mutliple ibkr accounts working on the same ninjatrader install? How about on multicharts
Yes you can with family accounts, 1 long with multi account id's : www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/non-professional-advisor.php
Jacob, this is what I am looking for a while, thanks a lot. My question is that it is possible to do automated trading. Get signal on NJ, and send order to IB, and get order status from IB?
Yes that is possible, NT already can connect to IB and thus get order status and use signals to enter a trade.
Great video thank you! Only problem I have is my lock and exit does not give me the option to select between logoff and restart. Any idea why that might be?
Are you using Gateway or TWS? Try the other.
Very helpful, thanks. I am, however, only able to see my sim account and not the funded account. To clarify, I logged in with my real account details and I cannot see my funds on Ninja Trader Accounts tab. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
does it need the IBKR PRO for the connection to Ninjatrader?
Why tu dont use TWS?!
IB Gateway are better connection or why?!because i use TWS and missing every time when i open chart 15 min?! 😢
IB Gateway takes less memory, maybe try updating your tws.

So on IB Connection config . . you do not have Local OCO Orders checked...does IB hold those on their server?
Do you run a separate data feed with IB to ninjatrader? IB doesn't support tick data so thinking I should get kinetick and use it with IB account on Ninja Trader
Yeah I use Kinetick, it's also faster than IB when it comes to backtesting and retrieving data.
