Using an instrument from second connection

[sammano]

Hi,

How do I Add an instrument that is only available from the 2nd provider to my strategy?

My first connection is Zen-Fire broker account and the 2nd connection is Kinitick.

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add("^TICK");
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

When I run I get error “Instrument not supported by current provider”. (I can confirm that have live real-time data feed from Kinitick)

Thanks.

Sam, the symbol is added correctly, so you would not get any error when starting the strategy connected to Kinetick only?

Thanks

Hi Bertrand,

That's right - if I only connect to Kinitick I don't get this error: "Unable to subscribe to market data for instrument '^TICK': Instrument type not supported by this provider."

But, I want to stay connected with both and do live trades on 1st Zen-Fire connection. If I connect first Kinitick and second Zen-Fire it seems working. But not sure how the live futures trades will be routed?

Please note: the correct code is Add("^TICK",PeriodType.Minute, 5);

Thanks.

Hi sammano,

If you connect to both Zen and Kinetick, and start the Strategy after that, you should not see the error, can you confirm?

Can you clarify a bit on "But not sure how the live futures trades will be routed?" Your Zen based account will be available, as well as any SIM accounts, to which the orders will be routed.
