Symbol mapping for Interactive Brokers

[Harry]

Just want to point out that the required symbol mappings for NG, SB and BC are
NG||||1, SB||||1 and COIL||||1 Otherwise it does not work correctly, as the position is opened for a false contract month.

Please change default settings. For NG it was false, for the other ones I had changed it sometime ago, so no idea whether it has been updated for the NinjaTrader servers as well.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for reporting this!

I'll forward this information on to development and ask that they add it for future releases.

Just found out that NG works with neither setting..... with the default setting NinjaTrader opened a position for the false contract month, with the modified setting NinjaTrader did not close the position but produced a pending order.Still problems with NT7. Have opened a separate thread for the problem.
