Question about Data Feeds

[Fran888]

I have a live brokerage account and pay for my data feed. Occasionally, I'll just trade live in a simulated environment to test something. Is there a data feed difference between trading live in my account and in a simulated account? Someone mentioned to me that there's a difference although I haven't been able to identify it. Thanks.

Hello Fran888,

Thank you for posting.

To clarify are you connecting to the "Simulated Data Feed" or your Simulation account which gives you access to the DEMO account within the Accounts tab of the Control Center?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I'm connecting to Sim101. There is a DEMOS account, but I haven't used it. Both accounts appear under "Connections" along with my live trading account.

If you are connecting to the account that provides the DEMO account this would provide the same real time data as when connected to your live account and the only difference will be the account you have access to while connected.

Thank you for clarifying.
