Broker and Datafeeds Connections

Brokers and Data Feeds

Selecting the appropriate broker and data feed is a crucial step that depends on your specific trading needs and objectives. Before diving into the details of the AgenaTrader Online Help, we will address this topic in the following section to help guide your decision.

If you haven’t yet chosen a broker or data feed, consider the following questions:

  • What time frames will you trade in? (For example, do you need access to tick data?)

  • How are the broker's spreads and fees structured?

  • What types of instruments does the broker support? (e.g., CFDs, forex, stocks, futures, etc.)

Understanding these factors will help you choose a broker and data feed that align with your trading strategy and goals.

The supported data feed providers and brokerage services are displayed in the table below:

FOREX marketsAs a basic principle, forex markets should be served by the same data feed/broker via which you are trading. This means that the data will come from the same pool as the one that the orders are routed to. This ensures that the execution price always corresponds to the represented data on the chart. This is especially relevant for traded time frames under 1 minute.
