Can't load Canadian stocks

[roylee]

Trying out the freebie version of NT 7.0.1000.9 and can't seem to load Canadian stocks into a chart or market analyzer. I am running a trial of IQFeed. U.S. stocks load fine.

I created, for example, XEG in the instrument manager, specifying XEG.C|SMART in the misc tab (and all combinations dropping the C or smart). Checked tse, tsx exchanges.

From the menu I go file->new->chart, specifying xeg and get:
Error on loading chart data for 'XEG Tse': E,Invalid symbol

The error log contains (with green background): Error on loading chart data for 'XEG Tse': E, Invalid symbol.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Please go to the Instrument Manager select XEG-->Click Edit-->Definitions tab-->Enable TSE and Default only-->Misc tab-->Set mapping for IQFeed to C.XEG-->Click Ok.

Next remove XEG from your Default instrument list and add it back in if it has been added then open a new chart.

Please let me know if the issue persists after this procedure.

Thanks Chris, that works. Guess I hadn't tried *all* of the combinations.

Hi
We’re a proud NinjaTrader 3rd party add-on provider and have recently released a unique new product range, the ‘Easy Load’ equities installer for NinjaTrader, which addresses the exact questions raised in this topic (the NinjaTrader press release can be found at http://www.ninjatrader.com/downloads...st_29_2013.pdf ).

Our ‘Easy Load’ installers automatically install within NinjaTrader the complete list of all fully configured stock exchange codes for various exchanges (including TSX) allowing for fast, seamless access to these instruments across multiple supported NinjaTrader datafeed providers.

For the Canadian Toronto Stock Exchange (‘Easy Load’ TSX) installer, all stock codes are automatically installed, fully configured and mapped to work seamlessly with 6 data suppliers, including Kinetick free/real time data, Interactive Brokers, eSignal, DTN IQFeed, Barchart and Yahoo free TSX data.
The user simply runs our unique installer and the process completes in under a minute... nothing more to do!

I realise this topic is very old now, however just thought I’d mention it if anyone is now after a fully automated solution to all the queries raised in this forum topic for adding Canadian stocks (TSX) in NinjaTrader.
