Broker and Datafeeds Connections
The choice of broker and/or data feed is a fundamental decision and differs depending on your purposes in trading.
Therefore we would like to discuss this in the next section of the AgenaTrader Online Help, before moving on to the actual help itself.
If you have not yet chosen a broker or data feed, there are several questions you should ask yourself, such as:
- 1.in which time frames you wish to trade (i.e. whether you require tick data: yes/no)
- 2.how the broker's spreads/charges are set up
- 3.which types of instruments a broker offers (CFDs, forex, shares, futures, etc.)
The supported data feed providers and available brokerage services are displayed in the table below:
