Bitcoin Futures?

[doctore]

Any special mapping for Rithmic? Running nt7 .1000.37.Following your suggested steps, I have XBT in the Master List and XBT 02-18 in the Instrument List. But when I open a chart, when connected to my broker (ADM) via Rithmic, there is no data on the chart. Tried downloading data as well; no indication of success or failure. Tx in advance!!

Nevermind...mapping is BTC. Works great!

How did you do that? I use CQG, it only has history data. How can I get real time data?
Thanks,

thomson, there are two possibilities for why you would see historical data only and no real-time for BTC. One or both of the below could be causing BTC not to update in real-time in your case:

• You're data feed is not enabled for real-time BTC data. If you're connected to a futures demo provided by CQG, it is expected that you would only receive historical BTC data. You would need a paid futures feed to receive real-time BTC data.
• Your NinjaTrader 7 is out of date

Potential cause #1 - Contact your broker/data provider and ensure you are enabled for real-time BTC data.

Potential cause #2 - The mapping for BTC for all known supported futures providers is now built into NinjaTrader 7.
