Help needed in finding some Future's symbols.

[Scooter1]

Hi,

I am finding difficulty in finding the symbols and plotting the charts for the following contracts:

1. Live Cattle Contract (Symbol:LE) on Globex.
2. Heating Oil Contract (Symbol:HO) on Nymex.
3. Light Sweet Crude Oil (Symbol:CL) on Nymex.

My data feed is from IB and I have data for these items.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Scooter1,



The CL (CL) and Heating Oil (UHO) contracts are available by default in the instrument manager, however the live cattle will need to be created by using the instructions provided.


From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
Press the "New" button
*Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivty provider
Press the "OK" button
The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.

Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list
You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.
