Data Provider Questions & Few Platform Related Questions

[STrades]

Hello, hope you guys are doing well. New NJ8 user here with few questions.
First question, I'm signed up with Ironbeam and getting my live data from broker through Continuum. Is 'Continuum' data feed same as 'CQG' that I got from Ninjatrader during trial, are they the same provider? Are there any difference between the tick data?? This is very important.
Also, 'Global Simulation' on/off is a switch for the ability to select the live account from Chart Trader correct? I can still use Sim101 to sim trade no matter if it's on or off?
And also, how to backup all Ninjatrader workspace/templates/presets if I need to uninstall/reinstall it?
Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, Ironbeam uses the Continuum connection technology which is the same CQG based data for its futures data.

Thats correct, you'll still be able to use NinjaTrader in simulation with this unchecked, by selecting the Sim101 from any Account dropdown menu on Order Entry windows.

I have attached the publicly available Help Guide section regarding backup and restore below:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

This is what I was looking for. Thank God I don't have to create a new thread. I don't know how that happened, but when I reinstalled Ninjatrader some data disappeared. Could these be erased by mistake? After that situation, I decided to work with another data provider. Now at any moment, I can easily access the necessary data, and rest assured nothing will be deleted.
