Hi Experts, another question.

Can I retain the free version of Ninja Traders 8 with IQFeed and use IB TWS for trade execution from a separate system? Would this setup impact the trade in anyways?

If I retain Kinetick, I think there is a monthly verification that I got NT lifetime license in order to qualify for CME non-pro waiver. Rather, I can take the feed from IQFeed to my free NT8 and use IB TWS for execution from a separate laptop.

Is anyone using IB TWS for trade execution? Is it good enough to place 2 or 3 trades a day? Because am using a separate system for IB TWS, I won't be able to connect IQFeed to IB TWS. The feed for IB TWS will be IB REAL Data which is updated 4 times / second snapshot. I think this is a problem only for chart with Volume or Bid / Ask indicators. For executions snapshot feed shouldn't be an issue.

Just my thought. Awaiting Expert advise. Thank you.

Yes, and no impact if your PC is not too slow (4 Gb of RAM minimum in this case).

I suppose but not 100% sure.

No problem, the IB data feed sucks but the executions are not bad at all.
