eSignal and IB problem

[fff222]

Hi. I got eSignal and IB both, but the problem is, eSignal does not have the bid/ask *size* data for one of my focus market (Hong Kong), and IB does have the bid/ask size data, but their tick data is known to be somewhat imprecise...
So is there way I may utilize the two data source in one study? Could NT automatically synchronize the bid ask data for the two source? Thanks for help.

Hello fff222,

Thank you for your post.

NinjaTrader supports multiple simultaneous connections to different connectivity providers and in some cases, to the same connectivity provider allowing you to:

• Connect to and trade through multiple brokers simultaneously
• Connect to your broker and your data feed provider simultaneously

If you are establishing multiple connections that overlap in their provided market data services, the connection order you establish is critical. NinjaTrader will check for required market data services in the order your connections are established.

For example:
Connection1 - Provides real-time market and historical data
Connection2 - Provides only real-time market data

If you connect to Connection1 first and Connection2 second, when requesting market data NinjaTrader will request the data stream for both real-time and historical data from Connection1 even if you trade against Connection2. You may want to try connecting to eSignal first & then connect to your broker. You will want to test this configuration in simulation mode to make sure it performs the way you want it to before going Live.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
