I subscribe to esignal data feed for data from the Sydney futures exchanges. However, esignal cannot provide level II for the SPI/AP contract.
I'm wondering whether I can use Interactive brokers feed to the DOM and use esignal for all charting etc. Is this possible? If so can you provide instructions or a link to the documentation.

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
This diversification of tasks based on data feed is not possible. Whichever feed you connect to first will be used as the primary data feed, and any tasks that handled by the first feed will transfer to the second feed. Please see the following link for more information.

Thank you for the quick reply.
Is it possible to use newly defined symbols (same underlying) in the instrument manager and map them in a way so that one symbol uses the feed from the primary and the other from the secondary?

Unfortunately this is not supported.
When using multiple connections, NinjaTrader will retrieve data from the first connection. Only when the first connection does not support an instrument type (stock, future, index, forex), it will retrieve data from the second connection.
