First I decided to try and get the Russell Indices from IB, so I subscribed and now get those indices at IB. But so far I have not been able to figure out how to plot them in NinjaTrader when Kenetics is also connected. It took me awhile to figure it out but I mapped R2500G|RUSSELL to IB only. Yet it seems you cannot truly map symbols to a specific source.
With only IB connect the plot works fine, but if I am also connect to Kenetics it just crashes when I try and chart it
I have tried various setting but nothing so far works. Reading the documentation I do not see how one maps a symbol to specific data feed or be able to say this symbol get data here but trade it here. Ideally one should be able to map symbols. After all being able to chart the data you want is important for a charting platform. I read something about if the 1st connection supports the data type it will not fall over to the 2nd connection.
Bottom line, I want Kenetics as my primary data feed being it is unfiltered but want to get certain instruments such as TF and R2500G from IB. How do you set that up??
If this is not going to work then I have question 2. I plan to open another broker account who uses a different data feed that does not support the data type. I tried this with free ninja and AMP and it seemed to work. Do you see any issues with this working? How much to upgrade to a multibroker license if this is the only solution. And can I get the name and number of someone very knowledgeable about this issue that I can talk to.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
