Hello, I want to use iq feed for data, not my brokers data. I only want to execute through my broker. To get iq feed data, i need to use symbols according to iqfeed symbology. The problem is that the symbols are slightly different that what my broker recognizes. For example IQ feed will have 16 at the end of a futures symbol to represent the year but my broker will only have a 6 at the end of the futures symbol. So when i connect to iqfeed, I am NOT able to execute through my broker because the symbol is not recognized. When i place an order, sierra switches to sim mode and i cannot execute an order unless i switch to the symbol my broker recognizes and then i cannot get data from iqfeed because iq feed does not recognize the symbol that my broker recognizes. How do i get data from iq feed and execute through my broker - gain capital- and resolve this symbology issue that keeps me switching to sim mode ? thank you, Rassul |
