Multi Connections

[cptrader]

I have two brokers and a multi broker version of Ninja. When I connect to PFG I get tick data to the futures I trade. I then connect to IB. I trade the Australian SPI 200 which I can only do through IB. The live data for the SPI is not available when I connect PFG first. I want to do PFG first as it has better tick data. Is there a solution to this.

Hello,

In short, if both brokers support the same instrument, the first connection will be the data you see/use. There is no way around this. So if both support furtures, the only data you can see for any futures will be via the first connection. However if your first connection does not support say stocks but your second one does, you will see stock data via your second data feed.

Hope that helps!

This does create a problem as the superior data supplier only supports US futures, not all. Is it possible to put in a request to have a feature added that allows particular instruments to use a particular data provider.

Hello,

Yes! I will send your request in to our development department for consideration for future versions of NT.
