I've got 2 questions:
I'm with IB as a broker. My primary connection is Kinetick. I mostly trade futures and need some data that IB do not provide (NQ Up/Dn for example). When I try to use IB as a primary connection, I do not get the NQ Issues Up index data. The opposite situation with IB forex data. I have not got Kinetick subscription for FOREX and don't need one as its OTC market and I want to see only my broker's quotes to handle stops the right way. I have FOREX data from IB. But again, when I use IB as a secondary connection, I can't get IB's Forex data on my charts.
As I've understood, I should get FOREX from the 2-nd connection in case the 1-st one doesn't provide such type of data. That's my case.
Question 1:
Is in possible to somehow get FOREX on a chart from IB as a secondary connection without Kinetick FOREX subscription?
Question 2:
I'm a little bit confused with future contracts such as ??? ##-##. For example, if I use 6M ##-##, 6B ##-## instrument, what contract's data do I get? What happens on expiration dates? What expiration date's volume would I see? Is it wise to use such contracts instead of ?? 12-12 for example?
Kind regards,
Serge
