Hi Alfred,
Go to the Instrument Manager, press the Catalog Button and then press search. A list of all the instruments available will show up. The symbol (Mastername) is QM. Highlight the contract and the information will pop up. Then select the NinaTrader Default Properties tab and set your # of contracts, # of scale contracts, Profit and Stop Loss. Then go back to the Instrument Properties and change the exchange from Nymex into Globex, also change the expire date to August and then press Add. The QM should now be added to your instrument list in the left window of the Instrument Manager.
If you need help setting up the contract, you can send an email with your phone number to:
vincent@ninjatrader.com (mailto:vincent@ninjatrader.com)

Hi Alfred,
In addition for setting up the contract.
With Pats you need to change the Exchange to Globex and with IB the exhange doesn't need to be changed. So Nymex
