Importing symbols with : ?

[usuallywin]

Hi,

I wish to use the "import stock symbols" to import stocks like "LON:AAL". But it seems that NT rejects the colon : in symbols. Is there a way to get around it?

Also, is that possible to the tick size for a massive symbol import?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Since NinjaTrader will not allow special characters like ':' in the Master Instrument field, manual addition of the stocks would be required unfortunately.

Ok, I see. Is it considered to be a bug, because I can see that many fx use symbol = and many exchanges use :? Essentially all google symbols use :

Thanks

Hello,

This is a limitation of the NinjaTrader 7 platform but is not something which would be unexpected therefor is not regarded as a bug.

Well I hope that this limitation can be relaxed in NT8
