I am trying to go live and hook up with my IB account but everytime I get this error while deploying.

I am already subscribed to NASDAQ (Network C/UTP) data in my IB account.

Hey Harmanjit; two things
1) This error is directly from IB please feel free to contact them. Likely you do not have the data (it takes 1 day for them to activate on an account).
2) After today we'll allow "blind trading" which means sending orders without a data subscription at IB. This is useful for people using the QuantConnect data stream. If you want to use IB as a data source you will need to activate your subscriptions.

Thanks much Jared.

Jared Broad are you saying it takes 1 day after we subscribe to the data or after the account is made? I just subscribed for the data 10 minutes ago and i'm getting this error on my futures algo. Maybe i need to wait an hour?
How do i use this blind trading? I just want to paper trade my futures but i'm hitting so many walls with IB

Hi Jared Broad  and Harmanjit Singh This documentation for TWS API helped me. i need to wait another 24 hours for the market data subscription to take account on my paper trading account AND i had to enable sharing. it gives the steps if you scroll down. this will be really helpful for anyone trying to do futures. I see not that many people talk aobut futures on the forums. Its a lot of stock algo conversations.

Seems this is exactly the information I was looking for, to go live with my first Options algo. Thanks for this resource, @Apollos.
Also, coincidentally, I'll be exploring Futures next, so expect more Futures chatter in the forums soon!
