In the UK we have a method of trading called "spread betting". This is pretty much identical to CFD trading (same charts, instruments and prices) but as it is technically classified as a "bet", traders do not need to pay any taxes on their winnings.
My spreadbet account appears in Ninjatrader's accounts list. However it throws a broker error when I try to trade using this account on Ninjatrader's "UK 100 CFD" instrument - I need to issue trades with the "UK 100 DFT" instrument. So I would like to edit Ninjatrader's @UK100 mapping so that it points to CityIndexes "UK 100 DFT" (spread bet) symbol instead of "UK 100 CFD".
I noticed on this issue that @Gold was pointing to CityIndex's Goldman Sachs instrument and not the metal:
So there must be a mapping somewhere between Ninjatrader instruments and broker instruments; is it possible for me to edit this?
