How to add stock to the instrument list
NT connected to IB. I'd like to use FAS/FAZ pair but can't find them in the instruments list. How can I simulate trades/strategies with these ETFs?Tags: None

Adding FAS to Instrument list
I am running into a similar issue. I want to trade FAS using NinjaTrader (with IB as my broker). I have verified that I am receiving stock data with IB and when I go into IB's Trader Workstation, I can type FAS into the order entry and I get data.
When I go into NT and add an instrument, I have to manually create it (not found in a search). Once I manually add it, I can't get FAS data to pull up on the DOM.
What am I doing wrong and what should I check for?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response!
My settings look as yours. I tried using just the "default" as the exchange and that didn't work. I also added Arca, Ise, Island, and Nyse as exchanges, since those are the ones I could match up from TWS. TWS shows ARCA, BEX, CBSX, DRCTEDGE, EDGEA, ISE, ISLAND, LAVA, and TRACKECN as exchanges. The description shows "Stock (ARCA)" for FAS.
What do you think?

neoikon,
Since TWS shows ARCA you will want to change the exchange to match what is in IB. Then in NinjaTrader you will want to add the newly updated instrument to a list. If you have FAS currently on a list you will have to remove it for the updated exchange information to stand corrected in the 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

I just unchecked all exchanges and only left "default" and ARCA (due to what the description showed) and now it seems to work! This time, when I added FAS to the instrument list on the left, I also selected ARCA as the exchange (on the main Instrument Manger screen). Perhaps that was the trick?
Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
Your data from TWS does not have smart routing. If it did the exchange would read as SMART and the default exchange in NinjaTrader would work.
Since you see ARCA you will need to define ARCA within the Instrument to make sure that it pulls the data from IB from that particular exchange.Ryan O.NinjaTrader Customer Service
