Can't add Zen-Fire Feed

[tjendra]

I can't find the Zen-Fire feed in the "Account Connection Set up". I already bought a lifetime license with NT for trading with IB. Is it possible to use Zen-Fire data feed for execution on IB?

Hi tjendra,

Thank you for your post.

Was this a single broker or multi-broker license?

If it is a single broker license that is tied to IB, you will not be able to connect to Zen-Fire.

It is a single broker license. Not sure if you know there are plans for Zen-Fire to tie up with IB?

If I am not looking to use Zen-Fire to do automated trading or execution through NT, would it be possible to just connect to Zen-Fire for the datafeed just like eSignal?

Hi tjendra,

Thank you for your reply.

1.) Not sure I follow when you say, "there are plans for Zen-Fire to tie up with IB" Can you clarify?

2.) For this, you would need to use a multi-broker license even though you will only be using Zen-Fire for data and not execution. eSignal connections on single broker licenses not tied to eSignal are available due to the fact that they offer a 'data-only' service.

1. So that I can use Zen-Fire feed for trading on IB platform.

2. Isn't multi-broker referring to brokers only? Why is Zen-Fire classified as a broker if I only use it for its datafeed?

Hi tjendra,

Thank you for your reply.

1.) Not that I am aware of.

2.) This is because Zen-Fire does not offer a 'data-only' service. You must access Zen-Fire via a brokerage.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

2. If you use the trial provided on Zen-Fire website, isn't the trial only providing the datafeed? Do I have to access Zen-Fire via a brokerage?

Hi tjendra,

Thank you for your reply.

That trial is offered by the brokerage Mirus Futures.
