Developing a strategy on NT7 to trade IB CFD's

[dadomil]

Hello,
I am using NinjaTrader 7 to develop a strategy that trade CFD's on US equities.
As NT's data feed does not support US equities, and not CFD's, I had to turn to a 3rd party data provider, that does. In this case, I found InteractiveBrokers that do provide CFD's on equities account, and I know NT do integrate with this data provider.
Now I just want to make sure before I fund my account with IB, that NT7 actually does support this kind of account from IB, which is a CFD's account on US Equities.

thank you

Hello dadomil,
Thanks for writing in.
CFD's are only supported with FXCM/NinjaTrader FXCM in NinjaTrader 7. You cannot use Interactive Brokers for CFDs.

Thank you Brandon

And if I just want to use NT7 to trade US equities, normal stocks, and not CFD's, will it be possible via Interactive Brokers?
Do you recommend a different data provider?

Hello dadomil,
Thanks for your reply.
You can access equities, futures, forex, and index instruments with Interactive Brokers in NinjaTrader.
