Import Stock Symbol List.... FX

[mjcongleton]

I would like to import a list of about 100 FX pairs, however, the Import Stock Symbol List feature always rejects my entries based on syntax unless I put the symbol in as: AUDCAD (for example) $AUDCAD, AUD.CAD, AUD/CAD are all rejected.

If I use a simple symbol like AUDCAD I get an error in Market Analyzer for each symbol using either Kinetick or TD Ameritrade as a datafeed.

SO....
How do I made an FX list which works?

Hello mjcongleton,

Thanks for your post.

Unfortunately, the list import is limited to stocks only at this time. While a change here is something which development is looking in to, any currency pairs you wish to add to NinjaTrader would need to be added manually.

OK I tried to enter them manually but could not get AUDCZK to work. I get a could not load data error when I add this to the FOREX list. I do have AUDCZK.FXCM for Kinetick in the symbol map, and Kinetic for my datafeed.

Any ideas?

Hi,

When attempting to load that chart, does an error trigger? If so, what does that error report?

[mjcongleton]

I get the following error:

"Error on loading chart data for '$AUDCZK Default': Unable to load historical data: unknown instrument"

Please go back to Tools-->Instrument Manager-->Select AUDCZK-->Click Edit-->Misc tab-->Set mapping for Kinetick to AUDCZK.COMP-->Click Ok.

Next remove $AUDCZK from your Default instrument list and add it back in.

Open a new $AUDCZK chart.

Please let me know if the issue persists after this procedure.
