K200 Futures Contract Data from IB

[MichaelB]

Hello Ninja Support.
Is there any way I can have Ninja trader access the data for the K200 Index Future contract from the Korean Stock Exchnage , that Interactive Brokers makes available?

Thanks
Michael B

Hello Michael,

First, please make sure your are subscribed to this data with your data feed provider. If you are subscribed you will have to create the K200 index within the NinjaTrader Instrument Manager.

Please go to Tools-->Instrument Manager and click "New". Enter all parameters for the K200, such as the exchange set to "Kse". Enter the correct symbol mapping for the K200 next to your data feed provider under the Misc-tab. After you entered all parameters, click OK. Keep the newly created index highlighted and click the arrow poiting to the left. It will now be added to your instrument list. You can now select the K200 from all entry windows and the Control Center.

Does this procedure have to be done for all "exotic" tickers or will NinjaT provide full lists for all possible products traded by a given broker (IB in my case)?

Why does it work this way anyway why doesn't Ninja just use the information from the broker, I have IB so when I type in Ninja K200 (or something like FUT K200 MAR 08 KSE) I want Ninja to fetch the ticker's credentials from IB so I dont have to bother!?

This procedure will need to be done for all "exotic" instruments. Thanks for the suggestion.
