IB and Canadian Stocks

[eha19]

I spent a bit of time this morning trying to figure out how to load Canadian stocks into NT. I've followed the following steps:

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.

For canadian stocks, please ensure to use the CAD in your setup in the Instrument Manager as described above.

I'm guessing that I am not using the correct Symbol Map for Interactive Brokers.

I get US data just fine, so there isn't a problem with connectivity.

Thanks.

In case anyone else has this problem, try selecting either TSE or TSX but don't choose both.

Thanks for reporting back eha19, correct normal TWS ticker symbol and CAD as currency as well as TSX / TSX exchange should do it. Please also review the IB connection guide and ensure you sure TWS 892.7 - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/su...ivebrokers.htm
