Custom Futures

Postby Nevik » 14 Jan 2015

I have added symbols to my database in order to create a continuation chart for the Globex Japanese Yen.
Problem is when I click Add Custom Future and look for the root 6J I don't see it. In fact I don't see any of the Globex currency future symbol roots which seems odd.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong? My data feed is interactive brokers by the way.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,

The symbol root for 6J @ IB is JPY. If it is not in the symbol dictionary for IB - you need to add it manually or copy and adjust it from a symbol dictionary of the data provider that has it.

Hello Henry,

Thank-you for the quick reply.
JPY is not in the symbol root list either.
Look like I will have to add it.
