Hello Together!

i found an old thread with this topic. I am a newby and i do not understand all the detail until now.

i used NT8 Multibroker with my Interactive Brokers Account and a Kinetick Datafeed.
I am quite happy with it.
Now i added Ninjabroker as an second broker.

I plan to use IB and Ninjabroker with NT8.
It works good together with my Kinetick Datafeed.

With the Ninjabroker i can now get the continuumfeed...wich is cheaper than my kinetick feed.

Now i have 2 big questions:

1. Can i use the continuum feed also for trading the IB account inside my NT8 Multibroker?
2. What are the differences between Kinetick and Continuum...trading FDAX/YM/ES/NQ/CL?


thank you for sharing your knowledge with me and excuse my english...it is not my native language.

Just one comment as you are trading Eurex products: Kinetick to my knowledge offers only servers to connect to in the US.
That would add quite a significant delay in transferring data from Eurex to the US and back.

Continuum is run by CQG who has servers in London, UK.
(You have to ask your broker to configure that in the CQG setup.)

But the order/risk management is usually done in the US, so CQG UK is fine as the data will be received quicker all the order will still have to cross the Atlantic.
The main difference is that Kinetick is providing market data only, while Continuum/CQG is providing the order feed and the market data.

Is that true for CQG? I know that CQG does offer to setup risk parameters within their plattform.

To checked with your broker but yes. All the brokers using CQG and its while labelled brands are not equal on this.

In your case you can use the IB-data for order execution thru TWS and for your ninja-broker account you can use another data-feed for charting and order execution for your ninja account.


In general, you need for each account a extra data-feed, you cannot use the same data-feed for different broker-accounts.
