Where is BATS in the 'Add Instrument' panel?

[Spiderbird]

Hi all!

I may have missed this, but I can't seem to find BATS on the 'Exchange' dropdown when adding my own instrument. I'm trying to add a feed I'm getting from Interactive Brokers for TICK-BATS. The data is coming through, but I can't make the connection in Ninjatrader to start populating the data in a bar and/or tick chart.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hello Spiderbird,

Thank you for your post.

I was able to get this symbol to work with a bit of a workaround that bypasses this limitation. You will want to choose 'Default' as the exchange, and enter the following in the 'Symbol Map' section;

TICK-BATS|BATS

The pipe in the Symbol Map sets the custom exchange for the instrument, since it is not available from within the 'Exchange' section in the platform.

Worked perfectly! Thank you very much Zachary.
