Some Yahoo symbols not loading in Market Analyzer

[themaxx]

Hi, I've added some Yahoo to Market Analyzer, but the data isn't loading. Please have a look at the attached screenshots. I know some of the symbols in my list are wrong, but 888.L, ABF.L, ADN.L, AHT.L all show up as correct in Yahoo but won't load. The strange thing is some quotes load in my list, some don't, but I've added them to my list in the same way.

If I load up the symbol in the instrument editor, the link to yahoo works, but the data still won't load (pls see screenshot 3)

Could someone provide some help please?

Thank you

Peter

Hello themaxx,

Thank you for your post.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say that "all show up as correct in Yahoo but won't load"? From the screen shot you attached, I can see the ABF.L has Last Priced listed and it displayed correctly. Please note that Yahoo only provides end-of-day data, so you will not see these prices update in real-time.

In reference to screenshot 3, this URL is just a point of reference as to where you originally looked up the instrument specifications. There is nothing in NinjaTrader that loads from this URL.

You should make sure that you have the correct symbol name typed in the "Misc" tab of the instrument editor. Under the section "Symbol Mapping" you will need to type the symbol in next to the Yahoo field. (i.e., for the ABF.L symbol, it would need to be Yahoo...ABF.L)

Hi Matthew - apologies that I wasn't clear.

What I was trying to say was I'm 100% sure that I am using the correct yahoo symbol code, but the instrument is still not loading in ninjatrader.

I have made sure that I have the correct symbol name typed in the "Misc" tab of the instrument editor (see attached screenshot).

I have inserted the correct yahoo symbol (ABF.L), but it wont load. The other instruments that aren't loading in the screenshot are also all checked and correct in the misc tab.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Peter
