Error Connecting to Interactive Brokers - Continually tries to auto-login

kingdomseed · 10-15-2009, 12:41 PM

I am trying to connect to my IB live and my settings are setup according to the connection guide on the website. However, even though I have unchecked the auto-login button, whenever I try to connect, the program still tries to auto-login in to IB, using my password as my user name and leaving the pw field blank. Needless to say, i'm really confused. Any ideas?

Hello kingdomseed,

Please see my response to the email you sent to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com as well.

Note that TWS needs to be running in order to connect to IB in NinjaTrader.

In addition, what version of TWS do you have installed. You can check this at Help-->About TradersWorkStation.

Yes, your email was a big help. Also, there turned out to be a couple of settings that were not set up correctly. Thank you for your time.
