If I do the following sequence, I can't get the External Data Feed to start:
1) Launch NT and NT opens with an existing chart that uses the External Data Feed. This is how I prefer to launch NT (at least till the concept of a workspace is released).
2) From NT - File/Connect/External Data Feed.
3) Launch Tradestation. Open Workspace with a chart that has NTExternalFeed Strategy applied to it.
The only way I have been able to consistently get the External Data Feed to start is:
1) Launch NT with no charts open that use the External Data Feed. This means If I launch NT and a chart opens, I have to close the chart then relaunch NT so that NT starts without a chart open.
2) From NT - File/Connect/External Data Feed.
3) Launch Tradestation. Open Workspace with a chart that has NTExternalFeed Strategy applied to it.
