Hello,

My data provider is IB, tried to import HSI index data for charting but cannot find it in Instrument manager. Able to find HSI future but not the index. Please help, thank you.

Hi simoon,

Thank you for your post.

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

The contract details IB provides for the HSI Index should detail the symbol mapping and contract specifications that you will input when creating the symbol.
