Setting up instrument ZS - Point value

[heech]

Hi,

I need some help with setting up future instruments... I am getting errors that suggests to me the point values aren't correct.

For example, ZS 08-09. I use ZenFire as my live data feed (and IQfeed for historical). When I load up a chart in ZS 08-09, or just pull up quotes in the control center.. ZS 08-09 is trading at ~1155.500, for example. I can place a limit buy order using the control center at 1155.000, using my ZenFire account, and the order is accepted = working.

However, if I change nothing else, and just switch over to my Patsystems account... placing a buy limit order at 1155.000 is rejected as "outside of daily range". Help! How do I trade ZS with Pats on NT?

Inside instrument manager, I have ZS mapped to Patsystems as ZS|CME_CBT. I have exchange set to Globex, point value as 5000, tick size as 0.0025.

Hello Heech,

Thank you for your post.

If you are connected to Pats only, what format is the ZS displayed in?
1155.000, or something else?

Hi there,

Yep, that's definitely the problem alright. When I'm just in Patsystems, the price shown is 11.5500. How would you recommend I rectify the problem? Should I perhaps setup a different instrument so I can distinguish between the two...? ZS, and ZS-P?

Unfortunatelly it looks like there is nothing that can be done for now.

Below is the comment from the NT7 announcement regarding the Patsystems connection:

"- Added support for a divisor parameter in the symbol map to address incorrect price levels where needed"

That's very frustrating... are you sure this is referring to the same issue I'm currently seeing?
