Quick question about external account vs data

[tony_28217]

I typically trade on NT Desktop with NT as my broker but have had some interest in trading with NT Desktop via an IBKR account.

I would prefer to keep using NT data feed so is it possible to have the money in IBKR but trade everything in NT Desktop with NT datafeed?

Thanks!
Tony

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your inquiry and for using NinjaTrader!

Yes, this would be possible for futures. To access both, you'd want to connect to both of them at the same time. You would simply want to ensure that your NinjaTrader connection is the first connection established or that it is your Preferred Connections for futures data.

Please note that to access any live brokerage accounts from third parties, you'd need to enable the Multi Broker add-on in the Account Dashboard if you do not already have it. You can enable this by referencing the guide at the link below:
