Hello Bryan,

Spreads are not supported in NinjaTrader.

CLE symbol mapping is already used by CL. This would cause a conflict if both have the same symbol mapping.

Understood. I am looking for non-official help in setting up the exchange traded spread for Crude. It's been done before in NT7 and I wondered if it's the same in NT8. Perhaps calhawk01 or eelofi would be able to comment?

Exchange traded spread symbol for IQFeed would be QCLN17-QCLQ17. To add the exchange traded instrument to the NT instrument list you would put QCLN17-QCL in the instrument properties for the new instrument. Then add an entry for contract month for the expiration of the second leg.

You mean like this? I have a CQG feed -- would it be the same symbol map?

But when I try to create an instrument with this symbol, it says Invalid Instrument Name.

And how did you get to that Contract Months window?

Thanks!
Bryan

Bump.

Anyone? Anyone?
