Symbol Mapping between a future and a mini future

Postby bluemulti » 21 Mar 2014

Hi All,

I want to use a strategy on a Future placing the order on the mini future. Let's me clarify:
the signals of the strategy are generated on a CL chart and I want that the signal orders are placed at the broker on the QM (mini crude oil) instrument.

The idea is to use symbol mapping on MC between CL and QM. I have experienced some issues with stop/limit orders.
Has anyone tried to use this technique to trade on mini future?
Does it depend on different values of Price scale and Min mov on quote manager?
Do you have any suggestion?

thanks

Hello bluemulti,

yes, it is possile to route orders generated by a code applied to CL chart on any other futures market at broker end by means of symbol mapping. Please note that at the same time you will not be able to trade both CL and QM futures based on CL charts.
