NT8 and FXCM

[Seaeagle]

Hi I am trading with FXCM UK using NT8 version 8.0.27.1 with a multi-broker license. I am trying to connect FXCM as my preferred connection so the symbols lists match FXCM's symbol list.

I am struggling to accomplish this, having watched videos on YouTube I notice that the options input box presented in YouTube is completely different to my version of NT8.

Please advise how I can set FXCM as my preferred data feed and thereby get the correct symbol list.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response bitdavid have tried to implement that solution but when I call up Tools>.Optioons I am presented with an input box that does not give the same options as yours. Which version of NT8 are you using?

Hello Seaeagle,

If you are having difficulty logging in please send an email to support[at]ninjatrader.com so that we can assist getting you the correct login details.

To set a preferred provider you would need to use the Options -> Market data menu and expand the sections for preferred live or historical data providers. You can see an image of what that looks like here:

Just as a side note, setting a preferred provider just makes data come from that provider. The Lists in the platform like the forex list are all coming from the NinjaTrader servers and you would need to manually create new lists or edit the existing lists if you wanted to change the instruments being shown. You can read about the instrument lists here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ment_lists.htm

Please see the attachment. When I select Options this is the only screen that pops up. There is no category selection field.

Hello Seaeagle,

Nothing was attached to your post, please edit or reply with the attachment.

The options menu should look like the image in the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ataConnections

This is the only pop up I get. There is no category field.

Cheers

Hello Seaeagle,

It looks like for some reason the left menu is minimized, you can expand it by holding the mouse over the borders on the left besides the text. You should see the mouse cursor turn to two arrows, click and drag the section to be larger so you can see the categories.

That's it sorted, Thanks Jesse.
