Hello elliot5,

Thank you for the message.

Interactive Brokers has recently changed the symbol mapping for a few different instruments and these may be some of them.

We have been in the process of going through and updating the symbol maps, but we may not have been able to update all of them just yet.

• For the GC, I have: GC|COMEX
• ZB, I have: ZB|CBOT
• For NK, I just have: NK
  • So, this one may not have been updated yet.
  • If this isn't loading in, please reach out to Interactive Brokers API team and verify what the symbol map should be.

Please use the following steps to reset the instruments within NinjaTrader so that it pings the servers for the updated definitions:

1. First, disconnect from any data providers by navigating to the Control Center > Connections menu, and left-click on “disconnect” that appears to the right when hovering your mouse over any active connection
2. Next, reset your instruments by navigating to the Control Center > Tools > Database Management
3. In the Database Management window, under the “Update instruments” section, ensure that “General properties”, "Futures expiries" and “Symbol mappings” options are checked and then click Update
4. Lastly, restart NinjaTrader for the changes to occur

Reopen NinjaTrader and connect to your account and test if the instruments load.

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.
