ICE + Automated Trading

[cgeorgan]

Fellas-

What's the plan with the ICE Exchange for automated trading outside the TF contract?

cgeorgan,

Thanks for your post, but I'm not sure that I follow.

Can you elaborate on your question?

cgeorgan,

Thanks for your post, but I'm not sure that I follow.

Our back office is telling me that Ninjatrader does not support automated trading on any ICE products other than the mini Russell - can you confirm this?

cgeorgan,

I see - thanks for the clarification.

Which broker are you with currently?

I just noticed my original response hadn't gone though.

I'm a Trading Technologies client.

cgeorgan,

Thanks again for the clarification.

Unfortunately, TF is the only instrument which is supported at this time on the ICE exchange in the case of NinjaTrader / Trading Technologies.

Yes yes, of this fact I'm aware - hence my question, "what's the plan?" Is it that developers are totally done working on it, or they're going to be adding instruments, etc?

Are the developers aware of the total notional amount of trading that passes through the ICE exchange outside the TF contract? How much trading potential people will have to give up in this case?

I understand that the average 3-month-and-out trader spends a month on the ES, a month on 6E, and a month on TF before they finally burn out, but there are lots of people out there who trade other instruments!

cgeorgan,

I know of no development in works on this exchange/provider combination. Currently, development is focused on stabilizing the NinjaTrader 7 beta.

That said, I absolutely understand that there are other instruments here you're looking to trade. I'll pass this enhancement request and your comments on to my development team for further consideration, but as it stands you'd need to use another broker/data provider for the other ICE instruments you're looking for.

Thanks for the response. I trust that, after the main goal of stabilizing NT7 is accomplished, the developers will turn towards making sure we can apply this program in as many areas as possible :-)
