I've been trying to figure this one out on my own to no avail. I currently have two connections that are always active - Continuum and TD Ameritrade. I receive the bulk of my data from Continuum, however there are a couple of index symbols that are not offered by Continuum, but are offered by TD Ameritrade. While I prefer to receive my index data from Continuum, I would like to receive the symbols that are not offered by Continuum from TD Ameritrade.
Currently, I have Continuum set as my Preferred Connection for Index data, which results in the data for the TD Ameritrade provided Indices being unavailable in NT8. I receive the "Unknown Instrument" error when trying to load any of the TDA indices while both connections are active, however those indices load properly if I am only connected to TD Ameritrade. So, my question is how can I get NT8 to load data (for these symbols) from TDA when it is an unavailable symbol using the default connection (Continuum)? Is it only possible to use one data provider for a single instrument type, even if that data provider has gaps like this and another active data provider can fill those gaps?
Thanks
