Surrogate Instrument

[trend]

Hi,

I have created a symbol AUDJPY1 mapped to eSignal as AUDJPY A0-FX
I downloaded the data through the eSignal with no problem but I can't get
the chart to update real time. The symbol designated as AUDJPY which is
also mapped to AUDJPY A0-FX, updates real time fine.

Any hints?

Thanks,

Hello trend,

Unfortunately this is not supported. You cannot receive data for two forex instruments that use the same symbol mapping. When I tested it on my end, I received real-time data as long as 1 AUDJPY instrument was selected in NinjaTrader. If I selected both the AUDJPY and AUDJPY1 in NinjaTrader only one received real-time data.

Hi Jason,
When you Add() a symbol in Initialize that is on a 24/7 Session
while the primary symbol (Barsinprogress==0) is on a subset Session,
couldl the OnBarUpdate() run on 24/7, as long as you have updates
on the added symbol?

Thanks,

trend,

Hopefully this tidbit from the Help Guide clears things up for you:

2. If a multi-series script adds an additional Bars object that already exists on the chart, the script will use the preexisting series instead of creating a new one to conserve memory. This includes that series' session template as applied from the chart. If the Bars object does not exist on the chart, the session template of the added Bars object will be the default one set for that instrument in the Instrument Manager and not the session template of the primary Bars object.
