Conection to ICE (IPE) IB or eSignal

[nicko9]

Has anyone been able to connect to ICE for symbols such as "COIL" (Brent crude oil via IB)?

I have been expecting this to become available in the various new versions, but having installed Beta7 today, I still can't get connected to the data.

I have tried via IB, Pats and esignal with no success.

Any clues would be muuch appreciated

thanks

a) Next NT6 beta will support ICE on IB.
b) Please send your NT trace files to "dierk AT ninjatrader DOT com", so I could incorporate ICE support for Pats.
c) I'll look into ICe support for eSignal.

Thanks

I forgot: There already is eSignal support for that.

Just add "|ICE" to your instrument mapping for this particular instrument on eSignal instrument manager.

Thanks Dierk,

Tried your suggestion re: eSignal - but doesn't work.

Could it be that eSignal changed their month/year convention for ICE to yera/month? i.e. the symbol for Brent crude is now: BRN 7H-ICE; Gasoil is: GAS 7H-ICE

Re: PATS - what are the trace files you need, and where do I find them?

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

- eSignal: What's the exact NT instrument mapping you applied? Please attach screenshot.
- NT traces: Help->Mail to support->check "Attach logs and traces". Refer the mail to me.

Just sent you the sceenshot etc. re: below.

I have justr discovered that orders and fills executed on ICE via Pats JTrader are picked up and recorded in the control panel of NT. However, when selecting the instrument in superdom/charts/order entry panel using the symbol referenced by Pats, I can't see the data

I have attached the scrrenshot which should make this clearer

[nicko9]

and the other scrrenshot here:

ICE is not support on Pats right now. I'll look into it for next beta.

[nicko9]

Dierk, is ICE supported with IB or eSignal? I have been unable to get connections via these providers?

If it is, please explain how to connect.

thanks

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please see below:
- IB adapter will support ICE with next beta
- eSignal already support ICE as per below

[nicko9]

Thanks, but i still can't get a connection to ICE via eSignal using BRN|ICE for
Brent crude as the mapping.

Could you help with a screenshot of a setup that works?

thansk

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Whats is the exact eSignal (!) instrument name?

Also: Please send me Pats traces as per PM this morning.

Thanks

[nicko9]

Brent Crude is: BRN 7G-ICE
Gasoil is: GAS 7H-ICE

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

eSignal: I suggest you retry after next beta. I changed some code which should make it working for you. You then need to just set up BRN, click the ICE exchange (will be supported with next beta), and leave eSignal mapping at "BRN".

Patsystems: I'm still waiting for your Pats traces as per PM yesterday. Did you send them to me or our support? Thanks

[nicko9]

yes I sent them yesterday - Sent again, direct to you

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Great thanks.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Next beta will supoort ICE and AEX for the Pats adapter.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

I have to correct myself. We will not support ICE on Pats, since the symbol mapping is beyond the scope of what NT can handle right now. Sorry.

[nicko9]

Hi Dierk, Still can't get data for Brent Crudse on ICE. Setup attached?



That is using an IB and an eSignal connection btw

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

You are on latest NT6B8, no?

eSignal: Please remove the "|ICE" from the mapping.
IB: Sorry, I'm on loss.

[nicko9]

yes I am

[nicko9]

Got it! from eSignal by removing the "|ICE"



Now IB? so I can trade.....??

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

a) please make sure you have exchanges Default and ICE checked if you want to have ICE support on IB
b) do you get market data for ICE on IB?
c) what error do you get as you place a trade on ICE on IB (see logs)?

[nicko9]

I can get ICE data if I set the exchange to IPE (not ICE) and map to COIL. I canalso submit orders via IB -don't know yet about fills; will let you know.



To get data from esiganl I need to set the exchange as ICE, and map to BRN

[nicko9]

I can now get IB data for ICE contracts (COIL & GOIL tested so far) and place orders via IB. Need toset exchange as IPE, and map as COIL and GOIL



I can get COIL (Brent) data from esignal if I set exchange to ICE, and map as BRN. Can't yet get GOIL (Gasoil) to work with similar settings (i.e. ICE/GAS) though.
