I'd like to check I am using the correct names for "MASTER INSTRUMENTS" in the Instrument Manager for these two markets. Can anyone in NT tell me master instrument names that are used in NinjaTrader 7 for these two markets? Is the first one "G" or "GAS"? Is the second one "MME"?

simtrader1,

Thanks for posting.

The "G" and "MME" Futures would already be native instruments in the platform, so there would not be any need to create custom instruments.

Support just told me on email that "the clearing firm does not support MSCI Emerging Markets Index" which I believe is MME. I don't think this is correct. Is it?

simtrader1,

It looks like the MME in NinjaTrader is the Mini-MSCI and has the following URL listed:

If you click on the link to ICE's site it doesn't say Mini, it just says MSCI Emerging Markets Index. I'm confused. Does Ninja support it?

sintrader1,

I noticed that as well, but the URL does mention "Mini" and the contract size values are different from the original link. This would be a supported instrument by the platform, as it is native to the platform. You can use and trade this instrument provided it is supported by your data provider/broker.

I have provided a link below to the NinjaTrader 7 Help Guide that goes over understanding the data provided by your connectivity provider.
