Default does ninjatrader work with optionsxpress?

Hi i have an account with optionsxpress, they use e-signal. Does that mean i can connect to e-signal from ninja trader for datafeeds? Sorry i am a little confused about how this all works.

Hi NewGuy05,

You can create an eSignal account connection using the instructions in the link below.
http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/support_esignal.htm

You can now receive real-time data as well as historical data using the eSignal account connection you just created.

Unfortunately, OptionsExpress is not a supported broker partner of ours. You can find a list of all supported broker partners at the following link.

Hi, sorry to be dense. But if not supported it means i cant use the broker's data feed even though they use the same e-signal provider that is supported? thanks

You can use eSignal as a data feed provider in NinjaTrader, but you can't route your orders to OptionsExpress, since they are not a supported broker.
