Help: IB consolidating exchanges ...and I can't get data

[whotookmynickname]

Hi Ryan

Can you also please share the updated instrument symbol mappings for BTC (currently BRR|CMECRYPTO) and ETH (ETHUSDRR|CMECRYPTO). does it require change to BRR|CME or so?

I got it to work. I needed to launch new charts, and I also got BTC and ETH to work by changing it to BRR|CME and ETHUSDRR|CME

I got ES, NQ, RTY and others to work by:

1. Install version .43
2. Resetting instruments
3. Amending exchange (unselect Default and Globex, choose CME)
4. Remove instruments from Instrument Manager and add new ones with CME exchange
5. Launch new charts, or replace current instruments first (instead of NQ 12-22, I was loading other instruments in the chart, and then changed it back to NQ 12-22
6. Reload missing data

As for Cryptos, see my post # 18

Done.

NinjaTrader 7 no longer receives updates to the database, so you would need to manually change the mapping for each instrument in the database. To do this you'll need to go to Tools>Instrument Manager and search for the instrument. Then select it, and click 'edit'.

In the Misc section change the mapping for Interactive Brokers to the instrument followed by the exchange separated by a pipe, as follows:

MES|CME
GC|COMEX
ZB|CBOT


You can also reference this information in NinjaTrader 8 if you are unsure of how this should be mapped.

I got a question regarding point 4) "Remove instruments from Instrument Manager and add new ones with CME exchange" :

When you say "add new ones", did you actually change the symbol from ES o ESZ2 or did you just leave ES and amend it to CME? Because it seems not to work just ES

Hi Ryan


Can you please share screenshots of the instrument settings and mappings for ES, NQ and RTY?

YES! Please! We all seem to have the same problem with IBKR's re-naming. Why should each of us have to go through the exercise of try to figure out the solution!?!? Show us the screen shots or the sequence of steps and we'll be done with it!

Thanks.

pstrusi no, I did not need to change the instruments to another name as you describe. I added some screenshots

[pstrusi]

Hello,

If you are seeing this issue today please try restarting the platform to receive the instrument updates from the database.
