micros

[mw355]

Hello, hope everyone there is safe and well. My NT7 does not recognize the micro es, micro ym, micro nq, etc. When I search for it in the instrument manager it does not show up, I tried typing a variety of combinations and the only micros that show up are the micro currency pairs. Can the micros only be traded on NT8?
Thanks,

They're available on NT7 as well.

Have you upgraded to version 7.0.1000.40?

I mean, the new version of version 7.0.1000.40?

To add the micros to NT7, they released an updated version of
the existing version 7.0.1000.40, but in an incredibly stupid and
bonehead engineering mgmt decision, they saw no wisdom in
incrementing the version number to 7.0.1000.41.

That's right -- there were two releases of v40, you may be on
the 'older' one. No way to tell ... like I said, stupid move by NT
to do it this way -- a really really poor decision -- this decision
will only confuse and screw the folks coming late to the micro
party. Hopefully this will fix it for you.

I followed these steps but the site must still have the earlier version,after redownloading I have the same results. Is there somewhere to get the newer version? Thanks

An uninstall, reinstall, and instrument reset is necessary to receive these new symbols. This is required even if you're using the latest version of NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.40. Please follow the following steps (this will not affect or remove your custom files or settings):
