Default Using NT6 w/ a demofeed for free charting

I am very sorry if this has been responded to before. I currently use a different platform through my broker other than NT6, so I do not need to use the SuperDOM in NT6 for order entry. However, I still need charting software so would it be unreasonable to use NT6 with a different broker's demofeed for my charting? It is my understanding that the subscription for NT6 is for the order-entry capabilities, but all I need is the charting... my current broker does not offer the Zen-Fire datafeed, which is why I would be using a demofeed from another broker. Is there a disadvantage to using the demofeed in conjunction with my existing live platform for trading? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Thank you for your response, Ryan! I guess my main question is, if I choose to use the Zen-Fire demofeed through NT6 to take live trades with my existing non-NT6 live platform, would there be a possibility of running into any problems, such as data delays, because of the fact that it is a demofeed? Thanks.

Hi:

The connection to Zenfire is the same real-time datafeed whether you are trading live or just using as a demo.

There will be no difference in speed of the data since the connection is the same.

Best regards,
