Mapping Canadian Stocks to IB

[WinSum]

I'm having trouble mapping canadian stocks to IB.

For example, a ticker symbol in IB Trader Workstation for "AltaGas Income Trust" is "ALA.UN" which is traded on TSE.

When I map it on NinjaTrader's Instrument Manager, it doesn't work. NinjaTrader can't get the quote.

Any suggestions on how to map it ?

Attach is a screenshot of NT's Instrument Manager setting and IB quote page with ticker symbol.

Can you please check both the Default and Tse exchange in the Instrument Editor window.

Upon adding the stock to your instrument list make sure the Default exchange is selected.

Check if you receive data.

Jason,

It didn't work. I added both Default and TSE. Attached is a screen shot of the Exchange drop down box showing both have been added and neither one is working.

I cannot get quotes and I get "No Security Definition" error when trying to bring up a chart. Attached is a screen shot of the error msg.

Any suggestions ?

Not sure if this will help.

In Sierra Chart, I can bring up the chart with the ticker "ALA.UN-S-TSE".

Their Interactive Brokers ticker mapping convention is:
[stock symbol]-S-[exchange]
The letter S stands for stock.

Most likely, this will not work. The exchange and instrument type are already defined in the Definition-tab of the Instrument Editor window.
