IB - charting real time European [LSE, DAX, VIRTX, EuroNext] stocks ??

[Newell]

Sorry Keith

I agree Keith and I apologize. I was only supporting the need for more discussion of IB data and charting real time European and Asian futures. I did not expect my issue to interrupt yours like that. Sorry.

Not quite there yet.... Euronext Exchanges

Hello Jason,
Sorry - I thought I had replied this am - but the response must have gotten lost on my end.

Hello Keith,
Did the instructions in post #7 help solve the issue?

1) EURONEXT EXCHANGE INSTRUMENTS No - I want to know which exchange I need to put in to get the CAC and AEX and Belgian stocks - - these are all covered in the Euronext.

IB lists all the exchange abbreviations when you assign a stock - and it has the name of the exchange [Paris-CAC, etc] right beside it - so you know which exchange is which abbreviation.

Is there someplace in Help or on the NT web site that tells users what the NT acronym is for the - in particular - foreign exchanges? Right now - putting 'exchange' in either help or on the forum does not result in anything useful. We know there are many and sometimes they change - but we are doing all this to be able to get to European stocks - and so it is not so simple as AMEX or NYSE or NASDAQ...

2) Re: HOT on the XETRA DAX - it plots fine on an IB chart and list - but is not active after yesterday's data ends and it is not updating even after hitting the 'Reload Historical Data' on the chart....

3) No problem - It was someone else that jumped in....My apologies for working on two cases in this thread.

Thanks for your help - Keith

Newell - no problem - I'm pretty new here so I did not know how these things are discussed. Appreciate that it would be nice to have more European and Asian and South African stocks discussed here -a s we can do a lot of this around the world trading and NT has some very nice software compatible with IB and others that link to those exchanges - perhaps we can ask NT to start a separate Topic for NON USA Exchanges???
Best regards, Keith

Hello k2again,

Please select the Default and Bse (Belgium), Aex (Dutch) and Pse (French) exchange for these stocks. Enter the the stock symbol next to IB in the Misc-tab.

Check if you receive data.

As per the HOT chart, please right click in the chart and select Format Data Series and ensure the current date is entered next to Last date.

Charting the FTSE 100

Re 1 below - CAC - Pse exchange stocks:
HELP: I tried and did not get DG or VK or RMS on PSE
I get the error " Error in requesting historical data from IB: No security definition has nbeen found for the request [200] - for all 3 below - but they are all fine on my IB screen.

So I guess I am not clear how to enter a new stock for the Pse?
But I was able to get stocks on the LSE and XETRA... CAC/Pse seems to be an issue.
What are the precise steps for the exchange?
Do you have to enter it and then import it on a new list ?
Or do you load it in instrument explorer?
Thanks, K2

Hello k2again,

FIXED IT THANKS!!! I had to enter it in an instrument list showing the Xetra as the exchange and Euros and the map symbol opposite IB [my connection data feed].

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

I suggest to load these stock manually in the Instrument Editor. Make sure the Default and native exchange are selected and enter the correct symbol mapping next to Interactive Brokers under the Misc-tab.

Add the newly created instrument to your instrument list and check if you receive data.

No Pse stocks data

Hi Jason - thansks for the quick feedback... much appreciated. BUT - I loaded them - and set them with both default and Pse exchanges - in Euros and put the IB map symbol opposite the IB in Misc.However, no luck with the Pse stocks - other ideas???

These while not the majority of what we trade - are important... Are you folks sure that the exchange is right?

in 2007 [I think] the Euronext came together to consolidate at least three exchanges in Europe. Perhaps your interface is not updated.

Remember that I have no problem getting the data and charts on the IB platform for these stocks and that I have the SMI-virtx, DAX-Xetra and LSE/LIFFE indices and stocks all working fine. If you need a screen shot of the CAC ones working in IB - PLEASE just let me know..

SUGGESTION: - it could have something to do with your exchanges - PLS have a look at your end - as Euronext is the OEX and PSE and the Belgian exchange all together now... and maybe you are not linked correctly since that took place/

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Could you please try the Sbf exchange instead of the Pse exchange along with the Default exchange.

Let me know if this will work for you.

[k2again]

Perfect - Sbf works for Vk - assume it will for others

Jason - thanks - and have a look at the IB interface - that shows not just the acronym - but also the exchange beside it - that might make it a lot easier for your members - at least not those in the USA anyway... THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT REPLY....

SWISS INDEX - symbol SMI on IB - which NT exchange?

Jason

IB has the SMI - [Swiss Market Index] as coming through the SOFFEX exchange - in Swiss Francs. I would like to chart this - but I do not see where the SOFFEX exchange is on your list. Thanks for some feedback... K2

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Unfortunately this exchange is not supported in the software.

I suggest to enable the Default and Eurex exchange and check if this will allow you to receive data for this index.

[k2again]

SMI - is the 4th most important european index

Hi Jason,

Perhaps you might check with IB. This is a very important index in Europe - coming right after the DAX, FTSE100 and CAC40. Some even argue that the SMI is more useful than the CAC40.

Normally - this index comes with a subscription to the VIRTX - but for IB - they have this wierd setup for the SMI and it comes through Eurex Level I subscription.

So I have checked off all the Eurex ones and as well - Default - and put SMI opposite the IB symbol map. But alas - nothing ocmes through.

Thanks for seeeing if we cannot work this out. k2

Unfortunately this exchange is not supported in the software.
I suggest to enable the Default and Eurex exchange and check if this will allow you to receive data for this index.

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Could you please try enabling only the Default and EurexSW exchange and check if you receive data.

If not, please enable only the EurexSW exchange and check again.

In addition, are you able to receive data for this index in TWS?

[k2again]

SMI- PERFECT NOW - on Default and EurexSW

Jason - once again - PERFECT - it worked with Default and EurexSW enabled. All the Swiss exchange stocks come through Virtx.

BUT YES - I was able to get the TWS data and a chart - but their charts are no where near so good as yours....

QUESTION: Which is the latest version of NT that we should be running with TWS. It keeps telling me there is an update - but I am always nervous about upgrading when it is linked to IB's TWS.....

Thanks again for all your help. k2
