Hello Vincent,

pls code some simple TS EL strategy only holding this statement:

Print("Position size: " + NumToStr(NTMarketPosition(""), 0));

(see NTSample in TS for a complete sample)


Then place trades in TWS and see as it's working

Hi

Did you find the bug reason ?

With this problem NinjaTrader <> TS <> IB is simply useless

Thank's

I have found now something:

Work if :
1. default account set on IB-account "Uxxxx"
2. call of NTmarketposition WITHOUT !! Uxxx

if LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(1) then begin
if NTMarketPosition("") = 0 then begin

Don't work with:

if LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(1) then begin
if NTMarketPosition("DUxxxxx") = 0 then begin

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Curious: why would you call
>> NTMarketPosition("DUxxx")
as your account name is "Uxxx"?

[VincentD]

to test & developp&debug strategy
with IB it's in the first phase allways with
a paper-trading and by IB is the paper-trading-account start
with "DUxxx"

would you like to developp & test strategy direct in a REAL-account ?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

- please make sure you call NTMarketPosition for the account where is actual position is on
- NT does not support IB paper trade account. You may consider trying the regular IB demo account.

http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/support_interactivebrokers.htm
"Critical: Although you can connect to TWS "Paper Trading Account" we do not officially support it due to inconsistent behaviors of how orders are filled and market data is transmitted through the TWS API."

[VincentD]

- NT does not support IB paper trade account. You may consider trying the regular IB demo account.

>> the IB demo account is really the bad solution> is delayed and after deconnect/reconnect you loose all position, IB demo account reset all after the first connection

the main problem is:
why the difference
NTMarketPosition("") without the account-specification is OK
NTMarketPosition("DUxxx") is allways 0 in TS, BUT I see the right position in NinJa (see the image below)

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

NT does not support paper IB trade account. Please let us know as you reproduce your issue on IB live or demo account or NT sim account.
