Connect to eSignal for data feed and IB for orders

[babbou]

Hello,

Sorry if my question has already been asked, I am new to NinjaTrader. I have searched for in the forum and could not find the answer.
Is it possible to connect NinjaTrader to :
- eSignal for data feed (tick by tick data)
- IB for sending orders only (not for data feed)

Thank you for your answer

Hello babbou,

Thank you for contacting us with this question.

This type of setup is possible within NinjaTrader. Please see the following link for more information about using multiple connections with the software: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...onnections.htm

Hello Kyle,

Thank you for your answer. I read the information about multiple connections.

I understand that if I connect first to eSignal, eSignal will be used as primary data feed (and IB as secondary), which is what I want.
Will NinjaTrader automatically determine that buy / sell orders can be sent only to IB ?

Thanks,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for getting back to me.

Orders would be routed to whichever account is selected in the Accounts menu of the SuperDOM or Chart Trader window where you are placing your orders. If the Interactive Brokers account is selected in the SuperDOM/Chart Trader window where your order was submitted that is the account where the order would be routed to.

If other questions come up please let me know.
