TT.NET vs ZenFire

[apex82]

Does anyone have any experience with the TT.NET feed through Ninjatrader? Is there any difference between this feed and Zenfire? Not the TT feed, the TT.NET feed, which is direct connection to exchange.

I can't comment on the differences but I can say that TT feed wherever you get it from is a direct connection to the exchange.

If offered through another broker doesnt it have to pass through their servers first?Some would probably filter it as well?

All NT/TT instrallations work like this:

Order Entry Client (NinjaTrader) ----->>> TT Server ----->>> Exchange Server

There are no additional servers in between. Some of our competitors do the following:

OrderEntry --->>> Order Entry Server ---->>>> TT Server ---->>> Exchange Server

This is slower which is why NinjaTrader connects directly to the TT server. Regardless of who owns the TT server (broker or its hosted by TT .NET) you are getting the connection from thefirst illustration above.

Hello, I assume that the answer to apex82 question in first post is that there is no difference (in speed or reliability)between Zenfire and TT.NET feed? Thank you.

More accuratetely, there are no servers in between your NinjaTrader application and either TT or Zen servers that would impact performance.
