Hello T2020,

Thank you for your post.

No, they are not located in the instrument manager. See your options for adding new instruments below. I suggest opening a chart and typing "SPY" and "DIA."

NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
• Press the "New" button
• *Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
• Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivty provider
• Press the "OK" button

* If you wish to add an equity, this can be accomplished without following the steps above. Just open a chart (for example) and start typing in the symbol and a new instrument is automatically created.
The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.

• Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
• Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
• Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
• Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list

You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.

In your 1st option at least one mapping is required . What is the mapping for
SPY and DIA ? If I'm using Barchart . How do you enter it ?

[T2020]

Figured it out . SPY will chart ,but DIA won't . Looks like it downloads data ,
but the chart stays blank . Selected " Default and NYSE " ....

Please only select Default. I tested a DIA chart on my end by manually configuring a new instrument in the Instrument Manager and received data as expected.

Thanks for the snapshots Jason ....
