The symbo; on esignal is 'Z H7-EEI'. NT rejects the order returning a 'holds unknown instrument error message'. I have tried to map this, using the Instrument Manager, by typing: Z H7-EEI for the Esignal fieldunder the Misc tab. It hasn't worked. Can you please tell me the steps to take in order to get this working.

Dierch, are you saying that NT cannot be used for automated trading of FTSE and DAX futures if your platforms are Esignal and IB TWS. I find this unbelievable. I would really appreciate it, if you can find outfor me howmapping between Esignal and IB can be achieved in NT.
I have spent so much time and effort trying to do this myself. I have already paid my subscription for 3 months with the hope that I can use NT automate trading of my favourite instruments; NQ, DAX and FTSE
thanks

I figured out a way to do the mapping. I'm posting it for the benefit of those who might have similar problems in future.
The trick is to write a routine within the Esignal efs that converts Esignal symbol to the Instrument symbol recognized by NT. So for FTSE futures, since getSymbol() returns Z H7-EEI (which NT rejects), I pass hardcoded string 'Z 03-07' to NT's dll calls within the efs.
Hope this helps someone infuture.
