I understand that NT6 will address this problem, how can I request for a beta copy? I am only testing the simulation version and would like to be sure that I will be able to using NT with TS8.1 and owndata.

NT6 does not address this TS/owndata problem. It provides features to backtest strategies (see Ray's post below) so you can replace TS at all.

NT6 will be available for sim users within the next few weeks.

Ei.. Software is not compatible with TS8.1 +Owndata , would have to make a table of Symbol Mapping since it does tradebullet, this software if it works with TS8.1 +owndata.

Is predicted a NJ version that has supported this option?
thanks

Is this working yet??

I see the last post was in 2006. Can I map a symbol of IB:6EU8 to 6E in NT somehow???
Thanks!

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Yes, 6E is already in the database and mapped.

[bigboy]

Ok,

So what does the 6E settings look like for the symbol coming from Tradestation of IB:6EU8?? What is put into the External field in the Miscellaneous tab??

Thanks!

Unfortunately TS symbols having a suffix like "IB:" are not supported. I recall a thread on this forum where someone worked around this issue by "reassigning" a new/non-suffix symbol name in TS. Don't have the link at hand right now though...

[bigboy]

Hmmm

Hi Dierk,

Ok, well I'll need that info so hopefully you can find that thread about the workaround in TS for this problem.
Thanks!!

I suggest trying the search function of this forum and e.g. search for "owndata".

Symbol Map for RP future

Please let me know the symbol map for the EURGBP future contract for InteractiveBrokers.

The CME Symbol is RP. I defined RP as Symbol Map but by starting the chart there is a message "error in requesting historical data from IB: No security definition has been found for the request (200)".

Thanks in advance.

Hi ntphub,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader support forum!

Under which symbol would you load this instrument in TWS? RP seems to be linked to a 'Euro FX/British Pound Cross Rate' index as well as a 'European Monetary Union euro' future.

[ntphub]

European Monetary Union euro

Kyle,

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. It's the RP contract referring to the European Monetary Union euro.

Thank you, NTP

Hi NTP,

It seems that my testing account is not authorized for that instrument. Due to this, I would need you to provide me with your username and password to further test.

Please send a note to Support [AT] NinjaTrader [DOT] com with 'ATTN: Kyle' in the subject line.

In the message, please include a link to this forum thread as well as the username and password.
