Trading via IB and datafeed from Zenfire

[StockStalker]

I have a multi broker NT license that is currently connected to Interactive Brokers. However their datafeed is terrible so I am using a Zenfire demo as data feed. The problem is that the Zenfire demo comes with it's own license key that I need to use, and when using this I can't trade with IB.

How can I solve this? I just want to trade live with IB + use zenfire demo as datafeed.

Hi StockStalker,

Thank you for your post.

If you would like to connect to both IB and Zen-Fire at the same time you would want to use a Multi-Broker License since each provider is tied to a specific broker. The single-broker limitation is resolved with a Multi-Broker license which you can upgrade to by sending an email to sales[at]ninjatrader[dot]com.

Additionally, it is not necessary to use Zen-Fire. If you are looking to supplement data from IB you can use a Data Only provider that can provide real-time data while using the Single-Broker License. One such provider is Kinetick where with any subscription to real-time data you'll also enjoy all these benefits with any basic service subscription:

• Fast, unfiltered data
• Live data for 500 Market Metrics Indices are automatically included. Full list at: http://www.kinetick.com/market-metrics
• Live data for thousands of included indexes, like the Nasdaq and Dow Jones
• Eliminated exchange fees for qualified accounts: http://www.kinetick.com/CME
  
• Free Globex upgrades for qualified accounts
• Free delayed and historical data for other exchanges not subscribed to
• Free news from RTT News, PR Newswire, and Business Wire

But I already have a data only provider, Zenfire. The problem is that Zenfire has it's own NT license key, and when using this license key I can't use my standard NinjaTrader key to trade live with IB.
