IB Symbol

[santafe]

I use Kinetick EOD & IB Live Data.

IB Symbol for Crude Oil Volatility Index is OVX (Last price $35.31)

Under NT Instrument Manager, OVX isn't available.

I tried $USOIL on NT Instrument Manager, but it doesn't load any Data on new chart.


How do I get OVX on NT New Chart?

Please help.
Thanks.

Hello,

It appears that the OVX instrument does not come pre-loaded with NinjaTrader, but you can add it to the Instrument Manager manually in order to view it on charts or trade it.

Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
• Press the "New" button
• *Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (add Default exchange for equities in addition to the actual exchange)
• Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivity provider
• Press the "OK" button

* If you wish to add an equity, this can be accomplished without following the steps above. Just open a chart (for example) and start typing in the symbol and a new instrument is automatically created.

The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.

• Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
• Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
• Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
• Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list
• You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.
