data feed question

[nextrader]

Dear Support,

I have a multi-broker live license, is it possible to connect "External" as data feed and IB for order submit?
If yes, how to config it?
Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Below is a link to your Interactive Brokers Connection guide.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

I mean to use "External " for the market data feed, and place an order in IB ( not use ID for data feed)

The external data feed targets those traders who have programming experience and wish to create a market data link between their charting or custom application and NinjaTrader which allows them to use the full functionality of NinjaTrader simulator. If you're curious how to program for the external data feed, please start a thread in the NinjaScript sub-forums.

The Interactive Brokers connection is not compatible with the external feed by default. If you want the data feed only from Interactive Brokers, it is perfectly fine to use the connection guide above to connect Interactive Brokers to NinjaTrader then place no trades to your Interactive Brokers account in NinjaTrader.
