UK Instruments (UK 100)

[Braysham]

I have been reading through the help manuals however have not been able to identify how I would use NinjaTrader 8 to display data for the UK share market.



Example UK Instruments:

FTSE 100
FTSE 250
FTSE 350
FTSE All-Share
FTSE AIM UK 50
FTSE AIM 100
FTSE AIM All-Share

Any help with this would be much appreciated. I was also looking for a way to create and manage my own watch lists. Can you point me in the right direction?

Regards,

Patrick

Hello Braysham,

Thank you for your post. I've copied our response to your support case (2012648) below:


NinjaTrader comes preloaded with the most commonly traded instruments. Should you wish to add an instrument to your database that is not located in the preloaded lists, please follow these steps:

• Navigate to the Control Center > Tools > Instruments window.
• Left-click on the ‘add’ button that appears near the lower right-hand corner of the Instruments window.
• Enter instrument-specific symbol mapping, exchanges, and other information on the Instrument editor that appears. This information will largely depend on your broker or data feed provider’s specific settings regarding the instrument in question.
• Left-click the OK button once each field has been filled out with correct information.

The new instrument has now been created in your database. Should you wish to add this instrument to an instrument list:

• Navigate to the Control Center > Tools > Instruments Lists window.
• Left-click to select the instrument list that you wish to add this instrument to in the left panel, then left-click on the ‘add’ button at the bottom of the right-hand panel.
• Type the name and (if applicable) front month of your instrument in the search field that appears. Press the Enter button on your keyboard to confirm this change.
• Left-click the OK button to close the Instrument Lists window.

Your new instrument is now added to the instrument list of your choice.

The New > Market Analyzer window may be used to create a watch list. To add instruments you wish to view (Right Click > Instruments) and then add additional columns for the metrics you would like to monitor (Right click > Columns).

Please see the below section of our help guide for more on the Market Analyzer.
