How do I add $BKX?

[daven]

I subscribe to BarCharts.com Index symbols and I know that $BKX (Banking Index) is in the package that I subscribe to, but I can't find it when I search for it in the Instrument master. How the heck can I get it into NT so that I can display it in a Market Analysis Row?
Thanks

Hi daven,

Thank you for your post.

NinjaTrader comes pre-loaded with the most commonly traded instruments however, you may find the need to add an additional instrument. Please follow the instructions below to add an instrument in the Instrument Manager.


From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Instrument Manager
Press the "New" button
*Enter in instrument specific information and select the appropriate exchange (For the $BKX you will set the exchange to NYSE)
Fill in any relevant information under the "Misc" tab such as symbol mapping for your target connectivty provider (For BarChart this will be $BKX)
Press the "OK" button



The instrument is now added to the master instrument list. Please follow the instructions below if you want to add this instrument to an instrument list.


Select the instrument list you wish to add the instrument to via the "Instrument lists" drop down list in the upper left hand corner
Select the exchange (Default recommend for equities) as this will route orders to your broker smart routing system
Select the appropriate expiration date if this is a futures instrument
Press the "<" button to add the instrument to the list

You are now complete and can press the "OK" button.
