Multibroker connection - any issues?

[anothertoy]

i am thinking of getting the multibroker NT and using 2 brokers (to keep each other honest). was wondering if anyone had any issues with memory, speed etc using it and if there were any tips to avoid some pitfalls.

any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks.

speed , memory etc. no issue, all working fine.

Only pitfall is that the NinjaTeam does not find the time to improve the IB Adapter. Autoconnection to multiple accounts does not work.

hi zweistein, when you give 2 brokers the same timed (say, sell x at 3 pm) order, do u get different fills?

actually, when u create a new strategy, how/when do u select which account and connection to use?

Hi anothertoy,

I choose by hand on which account I run a strategy. For example for the ES I have my "preferred"account and for the 6E another.
A strategy is linked to one account only, never to an account group.

Fills can be different between brokers.
From what I have seen (also at other peoples accounts)
I have seen RCG usually more delay than IB. IB seems to have quick fills.
Usually less delay is better for the fills, but sometimes it is the opposite.
