I understand, which is why I would actually prefer IQFeed. I am just wondering if supposed tighter integration made kinetick faster or more reliable in any way. Or to put it another way, does the extra layer introduced by the IQFeed client software really make a difference?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Of course it makes a difference, there is a layer of generic API code that is eliminated which practically means there is less processing of the feed. If you need to power multiple applications (not just NinjaTrader) then Kinetick is not for you as Mike pointed out. If you only need a feed for NinjaTrader then Kinetick is by far a better option both technically and financially.
Is this something that you tested against IQFeed? Would the difference only show when there is a lot of symbols being processed? I personally use about 5 charts of ES, one of which is a 2000 tick chart, the rest intraday and daily. NinjaTrader platform is fine for me, but I would prefer to have access to more than one platform if possible. I guess I'll have to test both out to see if I see any difference that I can notice.
If you need access to more than one platform than pay the premium and go with IQFeed. Difference would for sure be more noticeable when demand on the feed is much higher than a few symbols.
yes from kinetick, I'm looking to subscribe today they quoted me for all my instruments around 80$ with cme waived but from jan on because of that TF it will be 150$ a month
