Problem loading CFD and Stock with the same code in Instrument Manager

MrHope · 06-15-2009, 01:02 AM

When I have a stock listed, and want to load a ETF/CFD (which I believe is listed as a Stock under the Instrument Type) and both have the same Code eg BHP but different exchanges, the Instrument Manager doesn't seem to store both.

Is there a way that the Instrument Manager can store both a Stock and CFD for the same Instrument code?

Hi MrHope, yes ETF's are treated as equities - have you tried setting up two different master instrument names for the stock and the ETF? Then you could define the needed exchange per master instrument - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eDatabase.html

Thanks for that. That solved storing the Instruments in the Instrument Manager.
