Euro FX Future (6E to NT, EC in Tradestation) no PATS data

[dynosaratoga]

Verified that my futures account is validated to trade the Euro FX Future and I have in fact traded it pre-NT. Tried all the mapping codes to Pats known including GEC, EC, 6EU, and CME Euro FX - no luck.

Hi,

Have you tried 6E? This is the correct symbol map name for Pats.

Hello Vince,

Think I started with 6E because it was already typed in but it did not work. Just tried it again, no data.

Thanks, Dyno

Hi Dyno,

Can you send a screenshot of your 6E settings to [email protected] and refer to this topic.

If you don't know how to send a screenshot, you can follow the instructions from the link below:

Have you also checked your log file? Is there an error when you select the 6E?

Check as well in the Instrument Manager. In the upper right corner there is a Pats button where you need to click on. This button only shows when you're connected. So make sure that you're connected.

After clicking on the button, you need to scroll down and locate the 6e 06-06 contract. Is it listed?

Hello Vince,

I am getting EC data now thanks! Would like to know where I went wrong for future reference when convenient.

Now I am having difficulty autotrading EC from TradeStation.

The log gives the error message:
TradeStation - Strategy Filled Order for ECM06: unknown instrument 'ECM06'

I have and do autotrade ER from TradeStation so am familiar with the procedure.

Hi Dyno,

Ignore my previous message. It is a symbol mapping issue. You need to have to symbol map the Euro to from EC to 6E in NinjaTrader under External Datafeed in the Instrument Editor.

Thanks, have changed the External to EC instead of 6E and will see how it works when the next trade is triggered.
