I have purchased a lifetime single broker license for NT7 and will be using it with a Patsystems connection for my live trades.
As my live connection to my broker has just been setup, I will need to wait till 31 Dec for Asian markets/CME Globex to open before i can check if the instrument manager has been properly configured.
However, I do have the below questions for the time being:
1. For some of the default master instruments that come with NT7, I noticed under instrument editor/Misc/Symbol Map, the field next to Patsystems is blank while for others, this field is populated.
Question: Is it necessary/compulsory for this symbol map field for Patsystems to be populated? If so, is there a consistent way for doing so?
Eg, For ES, the field is just filled up as 'ES' whereas for YM, it's YM|CME_CBT
2. I see from the list of exchanges supported in Instrument Editor that Ose (Osaka Securities Exchange) is supported and I will need to view quote of Ose Nikkei 225 contract only (not trade) but from the log, it says "exchange OSE not supported by NinjaTrader".
So, please advise if Ose is indeed supported? I have created a new master instrument for Ose's N225 contract and done the custom mapping based on what i have read from the forum.
I will check if the quote can be downloaded when trading resumes on 2 Jan 2013. The Japanese markets are closed on 31 Dec and 1 Jan.
Thanks
