Patsystem+IB

[gbulle]

Dear Sirs,

I would like to run a strategy receiving real-time level II data from PatSystem
but I want to send orders to IB (because IB has a 5 depth book on Eurex while Pats has a 10 depth book).

It is possible?
Which license must I buy?

Thanks
GB

Hello GB,

Yes, this is possible by purchasing a multi broker license key.

Subsequently, you would connect to Patsystems first and IB second. That way, you will receive real-time data from Patsystems. Please see the link below for information regarding multiple connections.

I am using NT 7.0.1000.6 and TWS 917.8

I have now this issue, not existing in the 7.0.1000.4 build of NT:

I connect to PATS and then to IB because
I want to receive real-time data from PATS and historical data from IB and eventually to trade using IB as broker. IB connection is the backup datafeed of Pats.

Everything works fine for intraday data; but for daily data I am not able to load historical data;
in the historical manager I see the data of the contracts but the end-of-day charts are empty: I see only the current live bar.

Can you help me?

Hello GB,

Can you please right click in the daily charts and select 'Data Series..'. Please set 'Session template' to 'Default 24/5' or 'Default 24/7' and click OK. Check if daily data is displayed in the chart.

Unfortunately, there is an issue with daily charts that use the session template that is setup by default in version 7.0.1000.6. Development is aware of the issue and is working to have it resolved.

Thanks.
Now everything is fine.

Can you please set 'Session template' to 'Eurex Fixed Income Futures' in the Data Series menu and check if this will make a difference.

[gbulle]

If apply this template the chart is empty: I see only the last live bar.
If I look at the NT status bar I see NT is loading data..... but no historical bars appear...
I can see historical bars only using 24/5 or 24/7

Hello GB,

Can you please tell me what time zone is used as per your PC clock.

When I test it on my end, I load data with all three session templates mentioned. Can you please proceed as follows.

Close NinjaTrader and go to (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->db and transfer the tick/minute/day folders outside the db folder to a temporary different location.

Set your PC clock to US MDT time zone (GMT -7).

Start NinjaTrader and create a new daily chart for the FGBL 09-11 using any of the session templates and check if you load the requested data as expected.

Likely, the issue only occurs when using daily data on certain time zones and certain session templates.

Hi,
I am GMT+1 , my clock now is 2;33PM;
I will these tests later this evening, when the US markets close.

Sounds good, please let me know the outcome.

[gbulle]

For other related issues I cannot move my clock to GMT-7.
I can survive but I hope you send a fix asap
