Trading Australian Stocks?

[paulchow2k]

Not sure I follow: NT would not divide any stock volume by 100.

Hey Dierk,
This is what I'm getting. I've also Crossed post this issue too... Notice the Time and Sales [NinjaTrader] vs Course Of Sales [Australia] vs Time & Sales [Interactive Brokers] is way different in volume and price!

Hello Paul,

I do not see 3 decimals used in the NinjaTrader T&S window.

To what data feed were you connected in NinjaTrader?

Jason,
This is a bug with NT 6.5 on equities. Only 2 decimal places. Hopefully NT7 will address that...?

NT7 will allow for smaller tick sizes on equities.

Thanks Josh,
For me, there are 2 more question which remains un-answered..

1: With stocks on large volume, is it possible to include a ',' in the Time & Sales, if it's over 1000? eg 20145 would look better as 20,145.

2: How will large volume on Time and Sales Issue be resolved?

1 more thing. When I'm importing ASX stocks into NinjaTrader, is it possible to append ".ax" in ALL the Yahoo Symbol map if I select "ASX" in the instrument List?

[NinjaTrader_Ben]

Hello,

Someone will look into this as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Hello paulchow2k,

This is possible upon importing a list of stock symbols. You will type in the symbols as in : XXX.AX,XXX.AX, etc.

Set the exchange and other settings accordingly. More information can be found at the link below.

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/ImportingAListOfStockSymbols.html

The imported instruments are named XXX.AX and will use the same symbol mapping for each data feed in the Misc-tab of its Instrument Editor window.

[paulchow2k]

Thanks Jason,
The only issue is that Yahoo requires XXX.AX Symbols while Interactive Brokers only requires XXX as Symbols.

I'm appending ".AX" to each YAHOO security manually so I can access Yahoo's histrical Database. Please let me know if that's easier way. Otherwise, I'll just modify them manually.

Paul

Hello Paul,

That would be the easier way if you use IB as well. Unfortunately I do not see any other faster way.

Market Analyser and ASX stocks

I am using IB as my data provider. I can create a watchlist but it seems that much of the data such as ask bid will not show up unless there has been a trade today. Is this correct? Also a number of stocks I track are to 3 decimals. Would this be a reason they do not show any data up in Market analyser. One instrument WRK I can not get any data for no matter what I do, even though it is on my IB watch screen.

Hello cptrader,

Can you please tell me which instruments display this behavior.

Please ensure the Default and the Asx exchange are enabled for the WRK stock. Ensure this is the case for all Australian stocks traded on the Asx.

Stocks can only use 2 digits in our software.
