Password NinjaTrader Register FAQ Members List. Kinetick and IB Forex data feed. Hi Ninjas, A simple question: When I connect my NT with Kinetick real time forex data, and at the same time with Interactivebrokers for execution, how can I be sure that the incoming for charts is just from Kinetick? NT automatically gives preference to Kinetick over IB data feed? Hi pstrusi, Thank you for your post. NinjaTrader determines the source of the data based on the connection order.

By connecting to Kinetick as your primary data source all supported data would be available from the primary connection. NinjaTrader only reverts to the secondary connection when it supports data the primary connection does not, or if there is an account from which to trade. Since Kinetick is a data only provider it does not include a selectable account.

Any time you connect to a brokerage connection the associated account would be available. More information on the connection configuration at: Free online training events - View Schedule. Guys - I'd be glad for your advice on this closely related point.

I have a funded IB account, so an IB live data feed, plus a Kinetick data feed for historic tick data IB don't supply that. As I understand it, Kinetick's spot FX data comes from a different broker FXCM? Now I know the prices on different broker spot FX markets and ECNs should run pretty much together otherwise someone would artibrage them - but we've all seen different broker markets can give different prices and spreads at e. So, it seems to me that it may be unrealistic to trade spot FX in an Interactive Brokers account based on FXCM's spot FX prices if any kind of precise entry is required.

Trading FX Futures would be a different matter, because then IB and FXCM are obtaining their data from the same exchange, and prices should run absolutely together unless the speed of the feeds differs. Does that mean that e. Or, is the FXCM spot FX pricing actually close enough to IB's ECN pricing to enable traders to make e.

That seems unlikely when in normal market conditions the IB spread on e. Sorry to labour this point, but I think it's it's both very important and kinda confusing. Kinetick data is advertised across the board as being highly accurate, but their spot FX data comes from one specific broker's spot FX market, which many of us don't trade Opinions and advice appreciated Hi jhmax, To add to pstrusi's response there are a couple of options in this scenario.

While it is true that the Basic Forex with Kinetick is available with FXCM as the only provider, Kinetick also offers a Premium Forex which provides more comprehensive forex data. This data adds TenFore data, in addition to what is available with the Basic Forex package. The TenFore data includes forex pairs that are composite symbols, as well as regional bank quote rates.

In total each particular currency pair available has the potential for 9 different different forex providers. As it relates to using IB as the real-time provider your charts would reflect the charted real-time ticks from when you connect, and any historical data would be generated immediately from the time of connection until reloading the data. When re-loading all historical data would be replaced with the Kinetick secondary connection while IB would continue in real-time.

Additionally, within NinjaTrader there is a possible future enhancement that would enable you to select the type of asset class available from specific providers, such that you can configure IB as your real-time forex provider while Kinetick supports other asset classes, as well as the ability to specify historical and real-time providers which supplements pstrusi's aims.

This type of capacity, if implemented, would enable you to configure your connections based on necessity for your trading. Thanks again - Ryan, I appreciate that the TenFore data may be nearer to IB's data - but I haven't been able to find an answer to the question of whether any other datafeed is close enough to use for scalping FX. There must be somebody doing this out there, I'll try the IB forums.

I guess one other option is to keep my trading computer running at all times IBs FX ECN is open. However as I understand it, TWS closes down once a day without the option, which cuts the data feed, and I haven't found a satisfactory work-around to that. I think users need to pressure IB to provide some historical tick data - there must be lots of traders who just use tick charts, even for just for refining their entry levels, and even 24 hours of it would be enough for my purposes.

I may now have a workable solution to this. I just received an email from someone who successfully scalps spot FX professionally that's 10 pip or so 'scalping', not say pips. He uses an online charting package not attached to a broker, plus a separate broker account and its native order entry window. His practical day to day experience of this appears to be that if you're using a true ECN broker funded by a bunch of the big banks consistently showing say 0. I guess it might not be any greater than the errors involved in trading 5 decimal point prices and having price move a few pipettes between you eye seeing the signal breaking and the order hitting the broker?

That sounds quite a different story from e. However, Kinetick sent me details of their Premium Forex data feedpackage which I think Ryan mentions below , which they say is also optimised for NT. I'm giving that a try, I'll let you know how that works for me. How do I display 5 dp on the charts?

Also I can't find any way of mapping the symbol to individual banks. How do you do this? NT staff can you please check that I am actually receiving premium FX data - it doesn't look very good at the moment. My Kinetick id is Thanks.

TOOLS, OPTIONS, DATA Quote Currencies data in: Choose half-pip I hope this works for you. I work with Interactivebroker that actually sends data in halfpips. Originally Posted by Operandi.

Also, I like to see my charts in increments of 1 pip.
