I have NT version 6.5.1000.6 (Live) together with Trading Technologies setup (Alaron is the futures broker).
I can't display the live prices (Bid, Ask, Last) for the ES contract and yet if I put in ZB 12-08 or ZT 12-08 it works fine.
When I put in ES it just stays as n/a. (This is in the "Orders" tab)
So when I open a chart or Level II or Time&Sales it works well for the ZB and ZT contracts yet for ES it doesn't update. Interestingly it loads the past (historical) data of the ES contract (say I specify a 1 minute ES 12-08 chart) it plots a 1 minute candle chart of the ES instrument but does NOT keep updating it. Time&Sales for ES is also blank.
I can't think how come this could be?
Oh yes, in the "Log" tab it has a yellow highlighted message:
MarketData request was rejected: unknown instrument (ES 12-08)
But if the E-Mini s&P 500 was specified incorrectly (the symbol, exchange or month) then why does it display historical data??? Note that in Connection Options for Trading Technologies I have the ''Backup datafeed connection' set as <None> and Historical datafeed Enabled. So I don't think it would be using the DTN IQfeed which I was using before I switched to Alaron/Trading Technologies.
Phew, any ideas?
Is there anyone who is using Trading Technologies and trading the ES contract for whom it is working? What is your set-up?
Thank you, Aleksandar.
