Question to connection and strategy

[MatthiasBern]

I have developed a strategy for Ninjatrader 8. Now I would like to query within the strategy which connection the market data comes from (rithmic or Ninjatraderbrokerage or others). Is that possible?What should the query be?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello Mat,

Thank you for your post.

The strategy has an associated Account object for the Account the strategy is running on, and with that you may access Account.Connection.Options.Name such as the following print statement:

Print("Connected to: " + Account.Connection.Options.Name);

For more informaiton:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm
• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...connection.htm

If you are connecting to both Rithmic and NinjaTrader Brokerage connections, which both support futures data, the default would be for whichever connection you connected to first to provide the futures data. Otherwise, you may set up your preferred connections in the Control Center > Tools > Options > Market Data settings.
