FTSE and Dow data?

[RMB299]

Hi

Could somebody please assist me with the following queries:

1. Is there an option to view EOD FTSE data with the free EOD feed? It doesn't appear to be on the list with all the other indices.

2. Sometimes I am able to view Dow data and other times I am not, it either brings up an error message or displays a blank chart. Why is this and how can I remedy it?

Many thanks

Hello RMB299,

1. Can you please tell me what free EOD feed do you refer - Kinetick, Yahoo or Google?

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.

2. Are you referring to the Dow index or stocks traded on the Dow?

I am not sure why you experience this. What does the error message state?

Hi Jason

I am refering to the Kinetick EOD feed.

In your instructions you say - "*Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange" - but I cannot do this as the exchange i.e. the FTSE is not on the exchange list unless it is listed under another ticker of which I am not familiar with.

Hello RMB299

This instrument FTSE is already configured in NinjaTrader 7. Go to Tools > Instrument Manager > select Futures in the drop down > type Z in the “Name” field and click “Search”.

If you want to add it to your ‘default’ symbol list then just highlight the instrument & click the left arrow button.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Many thanks, I was looking for it in the 'Index' list not the 'Futres' one.
