Hi frankduc,

Thank you for your post.

NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.

• 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

* If you wish to add an equity, this can be accomplished without following the steps above. Just open a chart (for example) and start typing in the symbol and a new instrument is automatically created.
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.

Hi frankduc,

I am not able to determine from Yahoo Finance which exchange is being used for ^N225.
Do you know which exchange would be used here?

[frankduc]

It says next to Nikkei 225 (Osaka:^N225)

Could it be?

[frankduc]

It should be TSE for tokyo stock exchange but i think the TSE of the list mean Toronto Stock exchange and there's no Osaka SE in the list.

If we put default?

But what do they mean by you must set at least one symbol map value?

Hi frankduc,

Unfortunately, I was not able to receive data with any available exchange. It seems that this instrument is not supported in NinjaTrader when data is coming from the Yahoo feed.
