'NinjaTrader historic data server'

[JackK]

Hi guys, this is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find the answer on the FAQ or anywhere else online, just wondering what the 'NinjaTrader historic data server' option when configuring an FXCM live account connection is and whether i should have it ticked or not ?

and also, the option below that, 'Local OCO simulation', should not be ticked unless instructed otherwise by NinjaTrader staff yes ?

Hello JackK,

If enabled, you load historical data from our historical data servers. If disabled, historical data is loaded from FXCM servers.

Yes, please leave it disabled. If enabled, OCO functionality resides in NinjaTrader instead of your broker's server. This means that NinjaTrader needs to be running and connected when one of the OCO orders fills to cancel the remaining OCO order(s).
