Hi Blake,

Since I am not sure exactly where you are stuck, I am going to start from the beginning.

1) Set up a connection to your broker. You can find set up guides for each technology that we support here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/support_connectionguides.htm

2) Once you are connected, make sure that you have File --> Global Simulation Mode disabled within the Control Center window

3) Following is a link to a quick start guide - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/GettingStarted.html

4) Since you have specified that you are a beginner, I would attend our free product training sessions each day this coming week. Our upcoming schedule is located here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/trading_online_events.htm

Where im stuck is in sim mode. i have tried and read everything i could. I plan on attending all the training . I am in a room with around 200 members and not many are using this. I plan on changing that. With ib as a platform imo this is a must . Anyway do i need to reinstall. I see my account under the sim account . I know its something simple and i have got pretty good with the demo. Thanks for your reply.
Hey i went to file and unchecked simulator mode and i think im live.:D

I appreciate that you will help us extend our reach.

No, you don't have to re-install. Let me make sure I understand.

- You have connected NT to IB's TWS?
- Once connected, you open a SuperDOM, File > New > SuperDOM
- Under the account list, you see the Sim101 account and your live IB account?
- If yes, to the above, simply select the live account in the account list and place a trade

I am not sure if I am on the right track in helping you. If not, please be very specific as to what you are unable to accomplish.

Thanks.
