I'm new to NT...
I've followed the directions exactly to the tee in order to obtain a Tradestation feed...
I'm trying to pull EURJPY to test a strategy, but I can't get any market feed (the error actually says something to that affect)...
Any ideas?
(Note: I haven't had a chance to test stocks yet.)

Have you set symbol mapping?

I've went and checked and it's the same symbol as TS... EURJPY

What's the exact error message you get? Screenshot would be great though.
Thanks

If you notice,a "$" is prepended at the beginning of the symbol. I tried to remove it in the instrument manager, but it never appears until after you selectEURJPY... odd...

a) There is a bug in NT, which will be fixed with next beta.
b) After installing next beta:
- make sure you get a fresh DB
- add $EURJPY to your instrument list (the $ char needs (!) to be there)
- select $EURJPY in the order panel and connect to external data feed

What is the ETA on the next beta?
Thanks.

Excellent. Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm getting anxious to try my strategy in automation mode... :)
