Primary data connection

[fernlicht]

Hello, I have a question regarding primary connection, since the NT8 log tells me the following:

I'm using IB connection for orders and Kinetick for data. I connect Kinetic first and then IB. The log tells me:

25/01/2021 10:27:34	Connection	Time to auto close position='00:00:00', Enabled=False
25/01/2021 10:27:33	Connection	IB live: Primary connection=Connected, Price feed=Connected
25/01/2021 10:27:32	Connection	IB live: Primary connection=Connecting, Price feed=Connecting
25/01/2021 10:27:26	Connection	Time to auto close position='00:00:00', Enabled=False
25/01/2021 10:27:26	Connection	Kinetick Pro: Primary connection=Connected, Price feed=Connected
25/01/2021 10:27:24	Connection	Kinetick Pro: Primary connection=Connecting, Price feed=Connecting

Which is the primary connection now for data?
In this case, if IB gets down because of maintanance, and gets back online, is Kintectik still the primary data feed provider?

I setup in Options->Market Data -> General all to Kinetic...

Thanks an all the best.

Hello fernlicht,

If you have Kinetick selected as preferred connection under Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Market data, then Kinetick is the connection from where NinjaTrader receives data. If Interactive Brokers loses connection and then reconnects, Kinetick is still the primary data feed.
