Automating TF trades from TradeStation...

[lawyse]

Is anyone successfully automating TF trades from TradeStation to NinjaTrader to Interactive Brokers, through the file interface from TradeStation? I have had problems with this for a long time, with no solutions. I use to same method to automate trades for ES, YM, NQ, and DAX, and even the UltraETFs, SSO, QLD, etc., BUT TF orders only get the dreaded "PendingSubmit" State under the Orders tab. Bertrand has tried to help me work through this issue... it would be nice to resolve this once and for all. Thanks!

I just tried it through the e-mail interface from TradeStation, and I get the same results. But REMEMBER, I can right click on the chart and place orders manually, no problem. It is when the orders come from TradeStation that I get the PendingSubmit.

Have tried both TF||100 and TF symbols for Interactive Brokers in the NinjaTrader Instrument Manager.

Hi lawyse, are you getting TF data successfully in NinjaTrader with IB? For this please leave the IB mapping at TF|||100.

Then under External you can map to TF or TF|03-09 for the individual contract.

Please also make sure you use the individual TS contract for this setup, this would be TFH09 in your case - thanks!

If this does not help, please send me your log and trace files to support at ninjatrader dot com Attn Bertrand and we take it from there. Thanks!
