Hello SARdynamite,
Thanks for your reply.
To do this you would need to connect to a data provider who supports futures also and you would need to create a multi instrument automated strategy that gets it's signals based on futures but executes to CFDs.
You can review the SampleMultiInstrument strategy in NinjaTrader under Tools> Edit NinjaScript> Strategy
Below I have provided a link to the Multi-Time Frame & Instruments section of our help guide.
If you wanted to manual trade you would need to open up a chart for each of the instrument and manually place the orders to the desired instrument.BrandonNinjaTrader Customer Service

Following both of your suggestions and regarding the disclaimer of the FXCM connection which states this :
"Should you choose to trade CFDs through FXCM, you will be unable to concurrently trade futures instruments on a different provider while connected to FXCM."
...what kind of conflict should I expect precisely ?

Getting back on the topic
What if my aim is to get FXCM fills while trading manually a futures feed ? Multi-instrument strategy option would only work for automated trading, not manual trading right ?
What about "group accounts", would that help to achieve hybrid manual trading ?

Hello SARdynamite,
Thanks for your reply.
This is not supported. Account groups would not resolve.
You would need to open up a chart for the futures and the cfd you want to trade. Watch the futures chart and then manually place the desired orders to the cfd chart.BrandonNinjaTrader Customer Service

Flooding the market with too many orders, that side by side solution would not be practical and precise at the same time
Could a programmer around imagine a solution internally to Ninja with both connections on, without the use of one of the FXCM API's ?
