Mapping of Wheat Futures

[markpc17]

Ninjatrader uses the symbol ZW as does Interactive Brokers. Tradestation uses W. I'm using the automation to send the trade from TS into Ninjatrader then out to Interactive Brokers. What should be placed in NT in the External field? Right now it's: W, and in the Interactive Brokers it defaults to: ZW|ECBOT

For some reason it does not like this and gets rejected as it tries to send the order through under symbol W. How do we map this properly?

Thanks.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your post.

Are you able to place orders to ZW directly in TWS without receiving an error?

What version of NinjaTrader are you using? You can check this by going to Help > About (Example: 7.0.1000.X)

What version of TWS are you using? You can check under TWS -> Help -> About -> Scroll to the Build #

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello,

Yes can send an order from NT into IB using the DOM.

Version used is 7.0.1000.9

Direct from NT it does see it as ZW and sends it as ZW into Interactive. But from TS it charts under the symbol W so I assume I have to do something so it will convert and send as ZW not W.

Thanks.
