Hi,

Best is to change your connection, connect to eSignal first and Zen-Fire second. That way you will look at eSignal data and when you want to submit an order in your Zen-Fire account, it will automatically be routed to this account.

Hi Vincent

But will it not work as I described ... it is just the Zen Data is far better than the Esignal Data do in real-time I'd much rather be going to Zen first

Thanks

Hi murfinp,

Thank you for your reply.

In the Zen-Fire connection, you would need to set eSignal as the backup, then all would work as you are looking for.

To do so:
From the Control Center, click Tools > Account Connections.
In the account connections menu, select the Zen-Fire connection, then click Change.
In the screen where you give the connection a name, you can set the backup data provider.

For more information about how NinjaTrader uses multiple connections, please see the following link to our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...leConnections1
