IB broker with IQFeed data

[dtl-saw]

My broker is IB.
Since IB doesn't provide tick data I'm using IQFeed for data.
Do I need a multibroker license to do this setup?

With a multibroker license how do I trade from the charts? I would be using IQFeed data for drawing the tick charts but want to send the trade order to IB. Can that be done from the charts?

Thanks,

Hello Dtl-saw,

Thank you for your post.

You do not need a multi-broker license to connect to both IB and IQFeed.

Yes, all this can be accomplished. You would want to connect to IQFeed first and then connect to IB.
You data will come from IQFeed and since you would be connected to IB you would be able to send orders to your IB account.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

That's a relief, no additional upgrades needed. Thanks!
Is there a way to control how the different feeds are loaded automatically?
When I configure account connections the only option is to "connect on startup" and an order is not specified or available. Does that mean that I have to connect manually every time I start NT?

Best regards

You can use the connect on start up however the connections will work in Alphabetical order, so ensure that your IQfeed is named above the Interactive Brokers name

I load my data feed providers by renaming them as 1 AMP 2 MBT 3 TDA 4 FXCM etc and then they appear in order when I make the selection and I never make a mistake. A lot of times when you want to backup etc, Ninja will force you to close down your connections (bad approach) and then you have to restart it manually! Hope this little tip helps.
