it's fine for min charts etc, don't use it to fill futures chart
back years etc. For tick data, I've heard that IB sends 1 out
of ever 4 ticks, there's holes in the data.
For me personally I use AMP futures for my data feed, but then I
make a second connection to IB where my trades get executed
through, I don't use the data to power the charts, I use AMP.
Though in order to use multiple connections like that you
will need a multi broker version of Ninja, otherwise you can only
connect to one data feed or broker at a time.
Ninja and IB?

Matt, or anyone who knows -- How well does Ninja work with IB's data feed -- both on a fully integrated basis, or just for charting?
it's fine for min charts
