creating nifty futures contract with esignal feed

[akshay.gupta55]

hi
I am using esignal datafeed for indian markets.When i use nifty futures instrument created by default,and give the symbol code for nifty futures in it,I am not able to get any data.
But if i create a new instrument under stock and give the same nifty futures symbol code ,it displays the data.
So i want to create futures instrument which can take esignal feed.How do i do it?

Regards
Akshay

Hello Akshay,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

The "NIFTY" Futures Instrument is already defined inside of NinjaTrader. Do you get an error message when you try to bring up a "NIFTY 06-13" chart?

Also, are you able to view the "NIFTY" future instrument inside of the eSignal Program itself?

Happy to be of further assistance.

hi
I don't get an error,but nothing is displayed.The symbol for june nifty contract in esignal is
NIFTY M3-NSF.But if i make a new instrument of nifty as a stock and give the same code ,then it displays the data .
But i wanted to create a continuous contract that's why i was using the already defined nifty futures instrument.

Hello Akshay,

Please delete the manually created stock first in the Instrument Manager.

To support a futures instrument XXX Z2-YYY, whereas XXX is the eSignal instrument name and YYY is the eSignal exchange name, you need to configure the following in the Instrument Manager:

- 'Default' exchange should be assigned in the Definition-tab. Disable the Nse exchange
- Set mapping to XXX|YYY. This would be translated to XXX Z2-YYY for the Dec 12 expiry. You can set the mapping under the Misc-tab next to eSignal. So you would enter NIFTY|NSF

Restart NinjaTrader once you made the change and check if you receive data.

Hello Jason,

I am also trying to get the NIfty futures contract for August using ESignal. When I enter NIFTY|NSF and press the OK button, a message is displayed that only underscore is supported and no other special chars. Can you tell me what to do ?
