Is it possibile (or will be in the near future) toselect adata feed for the charts that is different from the brokerage? in my instanceI use IB, but the way they aggreate their incoming data makes it useless for tick charts.

So i have an IQfeed data stream that gives me proper chartsbut when I amconnected I can't send tradesto TWS through the dom. Also when hook up w/IQfeed, dom does not display ACV, but IB data provides this.

Put simply, can I have a seperate connection for charts (IQfee) and another one for DOM/trade execution (IB TWS) simultaneously?

Hello,

Yes, you can have separate connections. First, connect to IQ for the data feed and then secondly connect to IB to establish order routing.
