I do not think that there is anything mysterious in NinjaTrader connecting to various IP addresses:
Observed Connections
If you start NinjaTrader, it connects to
(1) 72.232.148.211 Layered Technologies, Plano, Texas -> hosting www.[AUTOLINK]ninjatrader[/AUTOLINK]-support2.com
(2) 95.140.224.239 Limelight Networks, United Kingdom -> file delivery via internet
(3) hostingc1.megawebservers.com InternetNamesForBusiness.com -> domain registration
(4) 204.8.242.87 FXCM, New York, NY -> data server for FXCM
(5) 66.112.156.210 Data Transmission Network Corporation, Omaha
(6) www2.7ticks.com Interactive Data Company, Bedford, MA ->
When I download historical daily data, NinjaTrader connects to:
(7) cluster0.interquote.com (hosted on 66.112.156.210) -> data download from DTN Telvent
(8) cluster3.interquote.com (hosted on 66.112.156.210) -> data download from DTN Telvent
(5) DTN Telvent is a data provider. Depending on your instrument settings for FOREX instruments, NinjaTrader will download FOREX data either from FXCM or from DTN Telvent, when you are connected to Kinetick. As I have elected the DTN FOREX feed in the instrument settings, I am receiving data via DTN. Telvent | Smart Information for a Sustainable World
One more thing: how did you get a list of IPs that NT connects to? I would like to learn more about these stuff. I guess my question is which programs/software (preferably free/public domain) one can use to monitor this kind of communications? Believe me, your detailed post (a few posts back) has helped me tremendously with regarding trusting NinjaTrader; but I am not quite sure about other software that I am using; my office back home (i'm visiting the State at the moment) employs quite a few one-of custom application that we contracted "off-shore" programmer from other countries to write for us. Kinda scary.
