Can execution paramenters for IB be determined by another data feed using MW Pro?

[9hours]

Hi everyone.

I am looking to set contingent orders with IB using an alternative data feed. Currently I use IB for execution and Rithmic for data feed.
So given that I use MW Pro, can I set the conditions in the Rithmic connection and then have IB act on those conditions and execute the orders?
In other words could WM Pro can be used as a surrogate between the data feed provider (Rithmic) and the broker (IB)?

Hey @9hours Welcome to MW. Nice chart and very well thought out. I am on the Ultimate Edition, so I cannot speak to MW Pro. But I can at least tell you that it is possible.

R-click on a chart using Rithmic, and select: Edit Instrument. Under the "Connections" tab, select Add, and configure the IB setup. See here:



Be sure that however you execute trades (DOM, chart, Trade Panel, etc.) has the proper IB account selected.

I hope you're able to get this configured. IB data is awful for Futures!
