Hello galieo,

Thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

To clarify, are you wishing to dynamic add instruments to an instrument list through code? Unfortunately, you would not be able to do this.

However, we do have undocumented code here that will allow you to loop through an instrument list:

// ensure to change "Default" to the name of the instrument list you are trying to access
NinjaTrader.Cbi.InstrumentList listOfInstruments = NinjaTrader.Cbi.InstrumentList.GetObject("Default");

foreach (Instrument instrument in listOfInstruments.Instruments)
{
     // do something
}

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

That would be a useful command for scripting. As it is not possible, just use the output window with a print command when your condition is true. After processing your instrument list copy the output window contents and paste into File | Utilities | Import Stock Symbol List.
Print (Instrument.FullName + ",")

Hello AbcRocks,

Thank you for your reply and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

I just wanted to clarify that utilizing Import Stock Symbol List will not accomplish what galieo has asked.

This utility allows one to import a list of stock symbols for adding instruments to the Instrument Manager in bulk.

These instruments will already exist in the Instrument Manager.

For more information about using this utility, please take a look at this link in the NinjaTrader help guide: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...stock_symb.htm

Hello,
I should have been more specific:
When importing the list of stocks using the import utility, specify which instrument list you wish the list to go into. You may also specify a new list if desired. The list will then be imported into your desired instrument list.
