I understand the advantage of peer-to-peer vs. man-in-the-middle, that your Replicator provides.
Here is what I am considering setting up:
Copying NQ to MNQ between an NT8 account and NT8 subaccount, both running simultaneously on one machine and within the same NT8 installation/lifetime license. I use the Ninja CQG Continuum data feed.
In my example, would lag be an issue?
Would a VPS be helpful even in this situation I described? I live in Chicago. Is there a way to measure my lag to the NT servers?
What is your experience with different data feed providers working with NT8 and your Replicator? Is Continuum acceptable?
Thanks!
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
If both accounts are visible on the same NinjaTrader instance it's not really peer-to-peer as all is done inside the same machine and the same NinjaTrader.
The link you quoted (https://www.speedytradingservers.com/netreplicator/) is an indicators set which allow the replication of orders from one Ninja to one or multiple other Ninja, running on different machines. I created this because you can't have two CQG or two Rithmic connected in parallel on the same machine. If you have sub-accounts linked to a main account, and if they are all visible in the same Ninja, then the NetReplicator is not necessary.
You can measure the lag in sending limit order, far from the current price to avoid a fill (on a live account of course), and check when this order was accepted by the exchange. You can find this information in the NinjaTrader traces files.
While I'm always happy to sell new VPS , if you're in Chicago with a stable and fast Internet link, don't have power issues, and don't use too much automation, then it's maybe not worth the extra cost. Still, I like the fact of having a machine only used for trading purposes: no email and no web browsing (so no risks with malwares), up & running 24/7, reachable from a smartphone, and so on.
Continuum is more than acceptable, while I found Rithmic was slightly faster.
@Liberty88: I don't know if there's a trade copier for TS. I've coded few complex things for TS, using C++/DLL, but it's so painful to code compared to Ninja/MultiCharts and others, I'll pass.

Hello,
Thank you for choosing NinjaTrader and for your patience.
At this time all market data issues should be resolved.
Please restart NinjaTrader 8 to restore your market data.
Please let me know if you continue to experience the same.
I use the hotkey script by xabcdtrading that automates the order, ATM selected too, picks account as well. It might work for you as you can setup a hotkey then for the trade and just change the account if they are all local on your machine. Use a stream deck and put each as it's own hotkey. Might work for you? I only had it 3 days so too early for a review but first impressions are good and support has been responsive. Things seem to execute in under a second.
It's very simple to use and works quite well. I setup a subaccount at NinjaTrader and copy trades from my main account to my subaccount. Both accounts running in one installation of NT8, running on my one Windows 10 desktop computer.
Replicator is super fast, the trade copying happens instantaneously. Price is very reasonable. I'm happy with it.
I agree with you. Most of people they don't have issue with Apex version, but I kept having problem. Darrell is kind enough to issue me a refund because they can't fix the issue.
