Execute through IB, Other Datafeed

[sacramento343]

Hi, I have used other platforms which let you separate where your orders are executed (broker) and where your data comes from (data feed). Specifically I would like to execute my orders using NT with InteractiveBrokers, but I do NOT want to use their datafeed. I would prefer zen-fire, but I could be talked into something else, but the IB data just isnt accurate enough for me, but I want to execute through them.
NT doesn't make it clear if this is available, as when I sign up I can just chose "IB" for my broker technology. Please let me know if a NT/IB/Zen setup is possible. Or at least a NT/IB/AccurateFeed. Thank you.

Hello sacramento343,

Thank you for your post.

Yes you can receive data from Zen-Fire and submit orders to your IB account. In this scenario you would want to connect to Zen-Fire first and IB second. Once connected within your order entry window you would select your IB account from the Accounts drop down window.

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over Multiple Connections.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you for the prompt answer. I looked at the page you supplied, so now I am aware this can be done. My second question is how? When i go to ninjatrader.com and sign up, do I need to select the multiple broker version of NT? Will I need to pay extra for zen fire, or how do I receive data from them since it seems they do not sell it at the retail level, but only wholesale it to other brokers?
