To heech or emg or anyone else familiar with rithimic and Ninjatrader. What about data backfill? It is my understanding that when using zen-fire/Ninjatrader, the folks at Ninjatrader are actually doing the data backfill requests. How does that work with rithimic? thanks, cT
I actually don't use Ninja's historical servers, so I don't know the answer from personal experience. I *believe* it should work identically for ZenFire and Rithmic... but I'm not certain. I use IQFeed for all of my historical data needs. I trade a wide variety of contracts that Ninja doesn't have historical data for.
Ninja 7 has fixed so many of the often joked about errors and flaws with 6.5 were you using one of the Beta versions of NT7 when you made this comparison?
I have a direct connection to Rithmic and all is working fine. Once a broker decides to get into the tech business, this is what you get..malfunctions.
Not sure how that zen-fire (or zen-freeze) is reacting, but my OEC data and connection has been rock solid in recent memory. If your connections are dropping, at least demo the OEC software out and take a look. And it's free to customers so that is nice to not be paying for a data fee anymore. I was with T4 prior to OEC and those data fees can get hefty. http://www.openecry.com
