Cannot map eSignal EPREM A0

[ntprog]

When I try to symbol map eSignal's EPREM A0 I do not get any data. It isn't a connection issue because I can successfully map $EPREM. Any ideas?

Hi NT prog:

Thank you for posting. Did you not receive this reply to your previous post of this message?

Please provide us with additional information so I can test this instrument on my pc.

Is this an index, future or stock?

Look up the exchange the contract is trading on

Make sure you get the contract specifications from the exchange

Ensure you are using the correct front month. This information can also be gathered at the exchange.

A screen shot of your instrument specs would be most helpful.

Best regards,

The EPREM A0 is a calculation provided by the CME I believe. It is just the current ES future - SPX. Would you call this an index?

In eSignal, the $EPREM is this calculation updated every 6 seconds whereas EPREM A0 is updated every tick.

I don't think this trades so the contract specs don't apply.

Regarding a screenshot of my instrument specs, do you mean of my instrument editor? I attached that but I don't think there is much information there.

Thanks.

Hi:

Thank you for your response.

Please see the attached screen shots and enter these parameters. Exchange will be CME.

Do you now receive data?

Yes, I get data. But isn't this getting data for $EPREM (which updates every 6 seconds from eSignal) rather than EPREM A0 (which updates every tick)? I had mapped $EPREM earlier to master symbol TEST and was getting data (see my first post).

BTW, is there a difference between setting TEST's type to Index vs. Future (or stock?) if I am just using it as an indicator (not actually trading it)?


Thanks.

Hi:

Please update your symbol mapping for this contract.

Change the symbol mapping in the Instrument Manager to be

$EPREM-A0

Then re-add to your default list. Do you now receive tick by tick data for this isstrument?

I do not get updates when I made these changes.

Hi NTprog:

hmmm, interesting.

Would you be so kind to send me a note to support @ ninjatrader dot com and reference this post.

I may need to test using your eSignal information, which I would not ask you to post in a public forum.
