Instrument.GetInstrument returns null

[ellefk]

I have added the instrument "OMXS30YM".


Instrument instr = Cbi.Instrument.GetInstrument("OMXS30YM");
retruns null

Instrument instr = Cbi.Instrument.GetInstrument("AAPL");
does not return null

This code snippet finds the instrument:

var instrList = (from instrument in Instrument.All where instrument.FullName == "OMXS30YM" select instrument).ToList();
Instrument instr = instrList[0];


Do you know why

Cbi.Instrument.GetInstrument("OMXS30YM")

return null when the instrument exists?

Hello ellefk,

Thank you for your patience.

Can you attach a screenshot of the Tools > Instruments > OMXS30YM Instrument window so I may investigate this matter further?

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

I look forward to your response.

Hello ellefk,

Thank you for your response.

The Instrument needs to be set up as an Index rather than a Stock and then when you call it in the string please use the following:

Instrument instr = Cbi.Instrument.GetInstrument("^OMXS30YM");

All indices require the "^" at the beginning of the name.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
