e-Micro Volumes

This is volume for today, Tuesday April 21st

AUD/USD 40 contracts
EUR/USD 27 contracts
GBP/USD 134 contracts
USD/CAD 123 contracts
USD/CHF 1 contract
USD/JPY 954 contracts

In contrast the eMinis

JPY/USD 29 contracts
EUR/USD 57 contracts

and the full contracts

AUD/USD 1248 contracts
GBP/USD 750 contracts
EUR/USD 2708 contracts
JPY/USD 1211 contracts.

cross contracts like GBP/JPY still suck though, ZeroVolume!

So the USD/JPY e-Micro is probably the est one to track right now

Setting Ninja Up for USD/JPY eMicros

Under instrument editor add and enter:



Under the miscellaneous tab, be sure to add "M6J" under Zen-Fire.

my M6J has as little volume as M6E.. the chart is just a bunch of dashes..mainly empty space? is anyone trading these at all? not matching up to the PR are they...

[kocmodpom]

Fridays EUR/USD 1816 contracts up from 27 so...
but there appears to be no Yen volume. Hmmm.

[lindsayf]

well if these dont turn out to be tradable...are there any data providers/FX bucket shops that we can link to with NT so that we can currency trade with small lot sizes?

According to my broker (Velocity) I am permissioned to trade the FX micro contracts on GLOBEX (M6A,M6B,M6C,M6E,M6J,M6S http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/fx/f...ed_version.pdf), but when I add the instrument in the instrument manager and attempt to trade I the following error: 'GW:Product is not allowed Affected Order: Sell 1 Limit @ 1.1159'
My feeling is that the symbol mapping in TT is not just M6C, but rather something like M6C|10000. Can someone using NinjaTrader TT help me out with the setup. The setting in the misc tab is the one I am unsure about. Also, for something like M6C, M6J, or M6S (where we have USD/quote) should the 'currency' field still be 'UsDollar'?

Hi Dnokes,

Do you recieve live data with this mapping?

Also, check with your broker for the TT mapping as they should have this information.

[dnokes]

Yes I do receive live data with this mapping, but cannot trade. I have the 'currency' field set to CanadianDollars which may be the problem. For the mapping I used M6C

Try setting the currencty back to US dollar.

Also, can you check to see if your broker can see the order coming in on their end as the rejection message is sent by them or the exchange?

-Again, ask for the correct TT mapping as well.

[dnokes]

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will try both these things.

[dnokes]

Got it working now. Thanks again.
