PFG Data

[claros]

Would appreciate hearing from anyone using PFG and Ninjatrader. Have been using Ninja primarily for emini purposes, and am looking at PFG as a possiblity. Since I am also interested in equities, would I need a seperate supplier for equity data or is it included with PFG, and if so, do they include fundamental data for scans as well. I know that I need to spend some time in the MarketScanner forum, but thank you for your help.

Hello claros,

PFG supports futures and forex data as you can see at the link below.

The link will list all other supported connectivity providers and the services they offer as well.

Thank you, Jason, I should have looked more closely at that. I have looked at that reference material several times, and did not see the offered products. My mistake.

Thank you.

Ok, just opened a PFG account, and want to paper trade in sim mode for several months while system testing. I have NT installed on my pc, and am currently using IB data. I want to switch to PFG data, but want to make sure that I am ONLY in SIMULATED MODE. How do I get setup with PFG data and make sure that I am not trading live? I have not purchased a live license yet, only trying to take all precautions. Thank you.

Without a live license you cannot trade live. The free license is limited to trade in simulation (sim101) only.

Good, so even when I get it setup with the PFG quotes, it will keep me in a sim account (like with my current IB use), until I purchase a live license.

Thank you, just want to make sure.
