I understand thatthere is a fee to upgrade from single broker NT8 to multibroker NT8. That's fine, that is not my question.
Assuming I purchase the upgrade and now have the multibroker version, I assume that I can add a "connection" to my stock broker account. Then in my connections menu I will have options including "Live" and "<stock broker>".
So when trading, can I have both connections active at the same time? The Live connection is the NinjaTrader broker and the <stock broker> connection is to my stock broker. How do I select which broker I want to trade with?
Suppose I want to trade with NinjaTrader broker, but I want to use some chart data (say for indices) that is only available on <stock broker> in order to help me determine whether to trade. In other words I am only using data from <stock broker> but I am trading with NinjaTrader broker. Is this possible?
And if I open a chart for say ES futures, where the data is available from both/either NinjaTrader broker and <stock broker>, how does NT8 know which data feed to use?
Please explain, thanks.
