Any way to specify data source?

[heech]

Hi,

Is there any way to connect to two (real-time) data providers... and then some how specify which one is to be used for a particular strategy run? (The way we can for trading...)

The reason I ask... I want to do a simple test on two data feed providers. (IQFeed versus Barchart.) I'd just like to dump out ticks as they arrive for a particular symbol... and see which one is getting them first. (Or if that's too much noise, just output at when a price passes a certain boundary... SPY trades below 77.0, for example.)

If you guys have that information, or some alternative way to measure that performance, that'd be very helpful.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately that is not supported.

See this link for more information on using multiple connections: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...nections1.html

I'm thinking about trying to "hack" the system using the map list. Just don't know if it'd work.

- Add an instrument called "SPY1" to the instrument manager... in the symbol list, define it on IQFeed as "SPY", leave all other mappings empty.

- Add an instrument called "SPY2", and define it on Barchart as "SPY", etc.

And then run a strategy with SPY1 and SPY2... I'll give it a try tomorrow.
