how to use iqfeed datas and trade with IB

[NT-Roland]

H hellboy78,
Step 1) Connect to IQFeed
Step 2) Wait until the traffic light left to the respective data feed will turn green (Control Center).
Step3) Only then, connect to IB.

what this means? "connect to IQFeed->Confirm

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

If connected to IQFeed first all data requests will be made from the primary connection within NinjaTrader. To confirm this you can connect to IQFeed->Confirm data is being received then once confirmed connect to IB.

ok, but I wanna be sure that datas are from iqfeed, and not from IB.
there is a big difference.
how I can be sure that datas I see into charts are NOT from IB ?

[NinjaTrader_ChristopherJ]

Once you have your connections configured to receive data from IQFeed you would go to the Control Center->Connections->Connect to your IQFeed connection which will provide data within NinjaTrader.

Next once connected to IQFeed go back to Connections then connect to Interactive Brokers which with a live license key will allow you to toggle between your IB and Sim101 account in the Account drop down menu within the order entry window you are using such as the SuperDOM, Chart Trader, etc.

Also when connected if you hover over the Green dot in the lower left hand corner of the Control Center this will display the active connections.

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over Multiple Connections.

yeah.
my question is more related to
how to setup datas from one provider, and use second for order submissions only.

I don't understand the logic.
how I can separate that?
one for datas
one for order submissions

and how to check that when I'm connected?
to be sure all is set propely?

Hello hellboy78,

To achieve what you have described when connecting you would want to connect to IQFeed first for data and IB second for order submission.

I have provided links below to our Connection Guide that will take you thru the steps to create your connections within NinjaTrader if you not done so already.
