Cannont get OmniPilot to recognize Interactive Brokerage account.

Have had assistance today, but to this time reps unable to succeed in getting OmniPilot to run.

Get the following error during OmniPilot startup:

"OmniPilot: Could not set account, it does not exist!"
Set Broker(u1321743,u1321743) failed!! Continuing to use Broker: Interactive Brokers

Can anyone assist?

You have a lowercase u in your account number. IB requires uppercase.

I am running into the same problem. I've re-installed all components.

Is there a known solution for those trying to use Omnipilot with IB?

Thank you for your help,

Steve

Additional Info:

I can execute a trade using Omnitrader and the IB Gateway/Workstation. When trying to start OP on the RT Trader, I get the same error message as above.

I've reviewed the .pdf manual and re-installed all components.

Does anyone know why this error occurs and if there is a fix?

Thank you again for your help,

Steve

Are you sure the account number is correct? Use U for a live account & DU for a demo account.

I've tried naming the account with the upper case "U", but did not have any luck with that.

I'm going to utilize the trade throttle in VT on Monday. I would like to have the option to run OP in the future, as I prefer working in OT.

Let me know if you have other ideas.

Thanks Barry,

Steve
