Not Getting Symbols for Charting

[carlton]

Hello all,

I've successfully connected to esignal to provide my data, however I'm unable to retrieve a number of symbols for charting. For example, I can get BAB-LON, but I'm unable to get BSY-LON, or BAB-LON etc.

As you can probably gather, the symbols are for companies on the London Stock Exchange. However, that shouldn't make any difference.

Can you please shed some light on the issue?

Cheers

Carlton

Hello carlton,

Thank you for your post.

To find the symbol and the eSignal symbol settings you will want to access the symbol search feature from the eSignal platform & type in the search criteria (see screenshot).

Once you have this information you can manually configure these instruments – see the following instructions:

Chip,

As you're in Denver and I'm in London you're probably still in bed. However, if there are any Ninja members following this thread I would like some help please.

Basically, I'm confused as to how to get symbols from esignal into Ninja. I don't understand the description provided by Chip.

Cheers

Carlton
