DAX Index Mapping Tradestation

[voic11]

I am trading futures from Tradestation signals generated on Index symbols. It works fine with i.e. $INDU and YMZ12.
But there is a problem with the German Dax, because the Tradestation Symbol is DE:$DAX and Tradestation doesn´t accept a colon in the worspace name.

Has anyone an idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Hello voic11,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

We are testing this on our end and I will follow up with you when I have additional details.

Dax Index Mapping

It is quite stupid from TS to name a symbol with a colon, however, probably the only way to deal this issue is to adapt the EL code.

Anyone here, who has done this already?

thanks folks

Hello voic11,

Thank you for your patience.

After testing this on our end it would require a change in the Workspace naming convention for TradeStation as the instrument requires a colon ":"

You could go the route of using the DLL interface. For information on the DLL interface please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._interface.htm
