You could use any other data feed as long as you connect to it first. I'd recommend kinetick for the price. So for example, you would connect to kinetick and then MBT. It will use kineticks market data but you can place trades in your MBT account.

The data issue with MBT occurs when requesting too much tick data. It's something like 25k in a single request, will cause MBT to return nothing. This shouldnt be a problem for you anyway if you use minute charts.

I'd recommend trying MBT as is first. I currently use MBT w/ NT with no major issues, but then again I dont have a chart with tons of historical tick data or anything like that.

Thanks.........yes I agree, I have opened a live account with MBT and will use their data with NT and see how things progress.
