Questions multi broker license

[trader1996]

Hi,

I have a few questions concerning a multi broker license:

1. Where can I find a list of all available Connection types (like Patsystems, Trading Technologies and so on)?
2. Lets assume I would like to establish two broker connections on startup of Ninja. Can I use the "Connect on Startup" checkbox in both connections for that purpose?
3. How can I define the connection order on startup for both broker connections?
4. Can I connect to two brokers using the same connection technology (e. g. CQG) simultaneously?
5. Lets assume I enter my orders using an API connection via NTDirect.dll to NinjaTrader. Can I decide to which broker I'd like to send my order?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Markus

Hello Markus,

Thanks for your post.

1) If you are purchasing a new multi broker license you can connect to the following brokers
NinajTrader Brokerage
Gain/forex.com
Interactive Brokers
MBTrading
TD Ameritrade
You will also be able to connect to the following data providers
Kinetick
BarChart
eSignal
Google
IQFeed
Yahoo
TradeStation

2) Yes

3) You can try to force this by naming the connections with numbers at the start for what order you want them to connect. This is a workaround and may not always work. To ensure the order you would have to auto connect 1 connection and manually connect the rest.

4) This depends on the brokerage technology. CQG and Rithmic for example only allow a single connection at a time.

5) You can trade to any brokerage technology you are connected to in NinjaTrader. In the Account drop down menu you would just select which account you want to trade to

Of additional interest:

Does anybody know the differences in data granularity and historical data availability for any of these Brokers compared to IBKR?
