I am using IB paper trading as one connection and kinetick as another. In the IB connection options I stated that Kinetick is the the Backup datafeed and that the Historical data will be Disabled (In order to get it from Kinetick). I also wish that the realtime data will be from Kinetick.
When I open a tick chart I see that it is showing historical data and because IB don't offer historical data I assume Kinetick is filling my chart (I do not have this historical data saved for sure). The problem is that when I start running a strategy (with the IB account, not SIM101), new tick charts are not filling the historical data. There is no error in the logs.
In addition to comment about my issue, due to lack of info in the manual I wish to know the following:
1. How can I know for sure which of my 2 connections is populating the historical data?
2. How can I know for sure which of my 2 connections is populating the realtime data?
3. What do the "Historical Data" options mean in the interactivebrokers connection? The first one is obvious, to use IB servers. The second one is to use external servers. What servers? And the third one is to disable the connection in order to use another connection. This is what I need?
Thanks in advanced.
