platform connectivity options. I have 2 Live accounts: 1) CQG,
and 2) Rithmic and I have routed through both of them (although
not at the same time) while specifying that for Futures I always
want the Rithmic Market Data feed.
First of all; it does appear that I can configure one ATM strategy
on one connection (CQG) and the other simultaneously on the
second (Rithmic) connection; all from the same NinjaTrader
lifetime (but NOT multi-broker) license.
Although I have not tried to operate these two connections at the
same time; it would appear that I can run them concurrently from
just 1 single instance of NinjaTrader 8 process running.
IS THIS TRUE, so far ? Can I route through these two
connections with no issues; even though I do not have
a Multi-Brokerage license?
Now, I'm seriously considering doing some LeeLoo/NaturalTrading
work; and so they will provide a "paper trading" Rithmic connection
to do so. [edit] I think it's fairly common since LeeLoo appears
to have some marketing arrangement with NinjaTrader, perhaps
through Apex but that's marketing, not a technical issue. Basically
they operate a modified "prop trading" arrangement which funds
large accounts when traders qualify, but 'nuff said.
Here's where it gets confusing for me. As I understand it, if I
want to connect to that LeeLoo account, which also requires Rithmic
(and I also currently have a Rithmic Live connection configured)
that I may need a Multi Broker license, if I wanted to operate
my existing Live Rithmic; and a second Rithmic connection to
LeeLoo's setup.
I'm asking on this Platform forum first; since maybe there is a way
to configure an additional Rithmic brokerage connection? If not,
then I guess I could redefine the existing one, sometimes for
my Live Rithmic; and then set it up separately for the LeeLoo Rithmic
connection (but not at the same time).
Is the "My Rithmic..." connection just a "singleton" and there can be
only one? or is it possibly to have 2 instances of a Rithmic connection
configured?
I'LL STOP THERE; and hope that you can clarify technically what is
possible to be configured.
Thanks, hyper
