A historical Data server disconnection

[fredfred]

I was using the simulated data feed connection and this message pooped up

2020-07-18 19:32:08:524|1|2|Simulated Data Feed: Primary connection=Connected, Price feed=Connected
2020-07-18 19:32:08:553|1|2|Time to auto close position='12:00:00 AM', Enabled=False

2020-07-18 19:38:00:840|1|2|Using HDS (hds-us-nt-001.ninjatrader.com/31655)

I was a bit surprised as I didn't realise that the simulated data feed used the Ninjatrader historical data feed ? I thought it was generated on my PC within Ninjatrader ?

I have had these error when connected to my broker, but thought that the disconnection could be the broker feed, but obviously this is not the case ?

Hello fredfred,

Thank you for your post.

The simulated data feed connection does not use historical data servers.
