Hi There,

I am wondering whether we can enter order to Interactive Broker in Ninjatrader's renko chart.

Ninjatrader can connect two data sources at the same time, for example (CQG and IB). Can we use CQG for charting,
and use IB for entering order?

IB doesn't provide historical tick data. Other data feed can give us the historical tick data. But if we load the historical tick data from other data feed such as CQG, can we let Ninjatrader know we want to send orders to IB rather than CQG when we enter orders?

Thanks.

Mike

Yes, for the order entry you can select the destination account, which will be the IB account.
And you won't need any IB data subscription by the way.
