Index Data from ThinkorSwim

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Can you please tell me what exchange is listed in the ToS/TD Ameritrade platform for this index instrument.

Did you receive realtime prices at 700 in the ToS/TD Ameritrade platform?

What NinjaTrader version do you have installed? You can check this at Control Center-->Help-->About (8.0.xx.x).

Exchange listed for $DXY in ToS is ICE and 700 is not real-time price of the index.

NT version is 8.0.22.2 64-bit

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I suggest to use $DXY as symbol map and exchange set to 'Ice (Intercontinental Exchange)'.

I understand that the 700 is not the realtime price of this index instrument. However do you receive such prices in the ToS/TD Ameritrade platform as well for this index?

You have a previous version installed (8.0.22.2). Can you please download and install the latest NinjaTrader 8 version (8.0.24.3) and check if the issue persists.

• First, please make a copy of the license key entered at Control Center-->Help-->License Key as you need it to download NinjaTrader.
• Make sure NinjaTrader is shut down.
• Download and install the latest NinjaTrader 8 version from the link below.

After upgrading, NT give exception on start and shuts down.... being multi-broker lifetime license holder and brokerage client, the experience is really frustrating.

Hi NinjaTrader_Jason, ArbTrader

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your reply.

In looking back on that ticket, it looks as though they reinstalled the platform and then tried $DXY as symbol map in combination with the following 3 exchanges: Default, Nybot and Ice (Intercontinental Exchange).

Do you receive data for this with this setup?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Thank you NinjaTrader_Kate

Sorry, I missed your post. The end of this thread was inconclusive and nothing seemed to have worked. The issue may have been worked out based on Log and Trace files which is not documented here.

I do have the latest NT8 version running. The symbol $DXY seems to work with any or all of the 3 exchanges. However, non of the exchamges individually or combined work correctly for intraday day charts (i.e. 30M, etc.) The data for current day is always 0. The three exchanges each handle a different product (Index, futures, Future options, CDF, etc.) I assume Index data is provided by ICE.

I am using the ICE exchange or the Default for $DXY symbol mapping. Would you please confirm that the following mapping works on all time frames (Week, Day, Minute(s)? Also, please advise what the correct options are for the Instrument Type and Trading Hours to map. I would appreciate if you find a symbol map that would work for all time frames, if such data is available from ICE.

Many thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your reply.

Try deleting that instrument and then go to Add in the Instruments window. Put DX as the master instrument name, check NYBOT and Default under Exchanges, and DX for the symbol mapping. Does that pull up data?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.
