How can I get Ninja Trader and IQ Feed?

[patpat]

Ok this stuff makes my brain swim. I don't understand any of it. Your help is much appreciated. I currently use AMP Futures as my broker. And I have CQG and Ninja Trader.
I want to get rid of CQG, and replace it with IQ Feed. The reason is the new change in protocol at the CME where ticks are bundled. CQG made this switch, and I don't like the behavior of the price action one bit. IQ Feed says they intend continue using the old protocol as long as possible. So I want to change my data feed from CQG to IQ Feed, while retaining AMP Futures as my broker, and Ninja Trader as my platform. Can you tell me how to accomplish this please? I have studied the AMP web site, and it tells me nothing about this.

1. Purchase a subscription of Kinetick (Underlying data comes from IQFeed) at 1/2 the price
2. Connect to Kinetick 1st to get your data
3. Connect to CQG 2nd for trading

Thank you for your reply. If IQ Feed isn't switching over to the new tick protocol til later on, this means that Keneticks also not switching over til IQ Feed does? Are you saying that Kenetick is half the price of IQ Feed? The part of your reply that confuses me is where it says hook up to Kenetick, and then to CQG. Why would I still need CQG if I am using Kenetick? See I told you I was clueless. Also, can I accomplish what you suggest above, and still keep my broker, AMP?

- Correct, when IQFeed switches, Kinetick switches
- Kinetick is $55 per month, last time I checked it was approximately 1/2 price of other competitors
- You need CQG if you plan to execute trades through your brokerage account, if you do not plan to actually trade then all you need is Kinetick
