IB data & dxFeed

[Jesse_01]

I am trying to combine IB data for trading, & dxFeed for data feed for data. Is this possible at the same time? I have the pro version & both setup under workspaces, not sure how to give certain pages/charts select data feeds.

Totally possible and very simple to setup. Right-click on any dxFeed chart to "Edit Instrument." Select the "Connections" tab, and click on "Add."



In the Symbol Mapping window, select IB and the appropriate symbol:



Be sure to test this setup before you go live. I recommend opening IB in Paper Trading mode to confirm it works.

Awesome, I will give it a try when I get home. I want to use dxfeed for es & IB for SPX.

If you want to use MotiveWave to trade in an account at Interactive Brokers, then you need a third-party data source. dxFeed is excellent, especially for futures because of its full book and market by order real-time market data.

What you want to do is pull historical tick and real-time data from dxFeed and seamlessly execute orders in your Interactive Brokers account. The following configuration allows you to do this without having to customize each and every instrument. It can also be used in editions below Professional that only allow one connection per workspace.

Go to Configure > Workspaces and select the one with your Interactive Brokers connection. Click the Modify button.

In the Connections section of the Edit Workspace dialog, select your Interactive Brokers connection and click Modify.

In the Edit Connection dialog, click the Advanced button.


In the Advanced Settings dialog, check both Use for Real Time Data and Use for Historical Data.

In the Service drop-down, select dxFeed.



Let us know if this works for you.

I already got it working Monday. Thank you for the reply though.

I have IB data for stocks and dxfeed for futures.
It worked for me, because i only avctive trade futures now.

But since 9.1.2023 i have no stable data from IB. Every day the same thing with stocks. The chart shows only data until 9.1. and begins to draw the candles of the day forgetting them the next day .

Is their a way to fix the data of IB ? Or do i have to subscribe also to dxdata for stocks?

Thanks in front

I had the same issue.

It was something IB changed on their end, so MotiveWave Customer Support put out the 6.6.13 update. That fixed everything for me. No IB data issues with stocks anymore on my end.

I recommend updating.

The solution with IBKR and dxFeed works well since it circumvents not losing the connection to IBKR during their 'coffee break' at midnight. This is because you are using dxFeed where IBKR data connection will disconnect nightly.

Hey Scotty.
You just answered a question I posted in a new thread.
I guess I'm going to have to get the 6.6.13 update....
Thanks again for the insight.
