Index symbols

12-04-2008, 01:25 PM

I'm connected to ameritrade and need to chart indices. When I input the symbols as would under ameritrade for the indices e.g. ($indu, $spx.x) for DOW and S&P 500, Ninjatrader does not accept the symbols, I get invalid symbols warning.

Any Ideas..

Hi ny10013,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forum!

Please use DJIA for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index and SP500 for the SP500 index.

To learn how to search for the NinjaTrader symbols, please follow this link from the helplguide - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...struments.html

Have a great time working with NinjaTrader!
