Conection with esignal and IB

[noisetrader]

Hi I am begining with Ninja Trader and I like very much that I can conect NT with two data provider like esignal and Interactive brokers.

But I have a question with this, I configurate the conections for example esiganl conection and I put in back up Interactive conections, but if I close the esignal conection the Ib conection do not run automatically, What I have to do?? conect in the same time esignal and Interactive broker conection??

If I do it, when i have a strategie running in real time and lost esignal conection the platform will use the new data service data?? or I lost all my strategies, and I will put it in order again??

Hello,

Thank you for your note.

I'm not sure I undersand. You can connect to both data feed providers at the same time. When one disconnects, you should get data from the second connection. Your strategies should continue to run off of your second connection as well.

Also, if you are trading live, you will need to connect to your broker connection first, and your data feed second.

So in your case, if you use IB as a broker, you would connect to IB, then eSignal.

Please let me know if this answers your questions.

1.) The strategies will continue with your connected data feed in simulation. If you are trading live, your strategy will stop as you are not connected to your broker and the status of your last order may or may not be at your broker.

2.) Yes, you can have a backup broker. This requires the purchase of our multi-broker license for live trading.
