Data Feed Question for Interactive Brokers

[bluehorseshu]

Hi Traders,

Old trader, 20+years, but new to NinjaTrader. The potential on NT seems high as I look to consolidate accounts. Does anyone know if you are able to trade multiple accounts on NT? For example I have multiple accounts at Interactive Brokers, but want to be able to trade them all on NT for simplicity. However, one account isn't enabled for futures data while another is. Can the data feed from one account be accessible in order to trade the other account that is lacking that data feed? Hope this makes sense. Appreciate any responses.

Regards,

BHS

Hello bluehorseshu,

Thank you for your interest in NinjaTrader.

NinjaTrader can connect to multiple trading accounts. For example, you can connect to multiple accounts with Interactive Brokers. If the accounts are associated with different usernames, then you can run multiple instances of TWS and connect simultaneously within NinjaTrader using unique port numbers. This will allow you to access market data and manage both accounts within one installation of NinjaTrader.

You can use the following link to download NinjaTrader for free so you can test out our platform:
