Pulling up chart

[peregrine]

Hi I am having trouble pulling up a EURJPY Futures chart, which is the symbol RY according to several sites.

I am going to
ControlCenter>Tools>InstrumentManager>Name> "RY" >OK


Same with GBPJPY the futures symbol is PJY, I am having a problem pulling it up

any ideas?

The EURJPY futures contract is a pretty exotic contract, which has rather low trading volume.

If you want to pull up charts for exotic instruments, you need to open the instrument mananger

- create a new instrument
- enter all the necessary master data for the instrument
- select the appropriate exchange
- make sure to enter the symbol for the data feed
- select the correct rollover dates

Once the instrument is correctly setup you can pull data and display the data on a chart.

Hello peregrine,

Thank you for your post.

As Harry indicated, these instruments would need to be manually created within NinjaTrader in order to access data. 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 connectivity provider
Press the 'OK' button

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.
