Connecting to Pats

[laocoon]

I'm in the process of setting up a new connection using Pats and I just found out that they apparently don't offer historical data. What's the best way of going about it in order to have a seamless (historical and real time) chart whenever I start Ninja Trader?

Thanks

Hello laocoon,

Thanks for your post.

You can use a data provider who offers historical along with your Patsystems connection.
You would be able to connect to both providers so you could receive data from one connection and still be able to trade to Patsystems.

Below I have provided a link to the Multiple Connections section of our help guide.
