Support for Swedish OMX exchange

[Fierze]

I use Interactive Brokers for brokerage and datafeed and primarily trade the Swedish OMXS30 index future through IB. However, for some reason this exchange and index still does not seem to be supported in Ninja Trader, at least I can't find any way to open the charts.

Opening an OMXS30 chart has never been a problem in other programs like QuoteTracker, TWS, Sierrachart, Multicharts etc. I really want to use NinjaTrader for realtime charting since it is a good program, but I can't because of this, and I know that MANY others have the same problem.

So, my suggestion is to include support for the Swedish OMX Exchange (and why not all scandinavian exchanges, since more exchanges means more NinjaTrader users/customers). I find it surprising and disappointing that I still have to rely on other charting programs for this and I don't see why adding another exchange should be difficult?

I assume this will be corrected in NT 7 but I wanted to make my opinion clear anyway.

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list future considerations.

Here is what we would need for new exchanges added to NT's IB adapter:
- name of exchange
- exact (!) exchange string as shown in TWS

Thanks

I have also been waiting for the Swedish exchanges to be added.

- name of exchange: The Swedish Stock Exchange
- exact (!) exchange string as shown in TWS: SFB

- name of exchange: Stockholm Derivatives Exchange
- exact (!) exchange string as shown in TWS: OMS

Thanks. Both exchanges will be supported for IB with NT7 (non-public beta right now).

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

I just realized that this would require adding the swedish currency (SEK?) as well to NT. What is the exact string in IB TWS for that currency?

[mpe66]

Thats great news. Yes the currency is SEK.
Thanks Dierk

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Thanks. Will add that as well.

Fantastic, it will be great to finally have ninja trader charts available for these instruments!

Thank you for the quick response to this issue.

I just want to return to this issue now in march 2010, by asking if is still not possible to see Stockholm stock- or derivative exchange charts in NT 6.5.X? (exchange symbols SFB and OMS as stated earlier)

I see that Interactive Brokers have included TICK and TRIN indices specifically for Sweden to their available data, which is just awesome! However, being able to see these indices in NT charts, together with the Swedish OMX futures chart, would be even more awesome...

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list future considerations.

I don't really know what the "IB adapter" is, will it only be available in NT7 or can it somehow be used for including non-supported exchanges or instruments in NT6.X?

Hello Fierze,

Unfortunately not, since these exchanges are not supported in NinjaTrader 6.5.

Only NinjaTrader 7 supports the Swedish exchanges and currency.

Thank you for releasing a public beta, thus bringing me back to the above topic. How do I find the Swedish OMX future (or other Swedish instruments) in NT7? What is the instrument code and where/what is the correct way to write it?

EDIT: I'll ask this question in a more appropriate forum.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Ok, let's take it to the beta forums, thanks.

Hello agazza,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum.

I'm not familiar with omxs30. This is an instrument or an exchange?
