external data

[pgabriel]

Your help files suggest i should be able to run multiple feeds on the Ninja Platform...I would like to feed my charts with one brokers data (Tradestation)... and I would like to execute mmy trades thru a different broker via a pat systems connection...can I do this...?

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not possible to connect to the External Data feed and another data feed source at the same time. You would need to have a connection to lets say eSignal to receive your historical data and then connect to Pats for live trading.

Your orders would be sent from TS to NinjaTrader and executed in your live Pats acount.

I am trying to find a way to up date V6.5 range bars with data from another source since 6.5 will not build range bars from historical 1 min data ...I use tradestation in addition to NT...any suggestions...?

Hello,

You will need another data feed source that provides historical tick data to back fill your charts with range bars.

Will V6.5 work with "Open Tick"...?

Hello,

Yes, OpenTick will work with NinjaTrader 6.5.

I now have an open tick account. I have creadted an "open Tick" connection on NT...how do i download hist tick data to refresh my charts...?

Hello,

Please open a new chart and the data should load for you, or reload the data from the Control Center -> Tools -> Historical Data -> Relaod.

I have had some success downloading some hist data.from open tick..however...this leaves me with 2 sets of charts...if i use open tick for history and my brokers feed for real time how do I refresh my real time charts ...that is if I have gaps in my real time charts How do i import the open tick data with my real time charts to creat a chart without missing data...?

Hello,

Please connect to OpenTick first to receive your historical data and then to Patsystems second to receive your real time data.

Hello,

It is possible to receive historical data from IB. They only provide historical Minute and Daily data.

Please try to open up a chart with one of those intervals and let me know if it works.

If you would like to use DTN as your historical data provider, you will need to follow the instructions in the link below.

You then will need to connect to DTN first and then IB.

Is there a way to remove the install of the TradeStation External data connection?
