rejected orders

Postby juanmon » 06 Nov 2014

HI,

I am trying to place orders through Multicharts via CQG to my broker (Jefferies). Connections for data and trading are set and working properly. I noticed that I am successful in doing this when creating a chart that uses only the realtime data from CQG. However, when I try to use a chart that I have Ascii mapped to a historical data file which updates every day, and then merge this chart with CQG real time data for the front month contract, that I can no longer place orders. I get a " no instrument specific reference data for symbol " error message in the logs tab. What can I do to place orders with a merged chart like this? I need the mapped file data included because many of my indicators need a longer history of a continuous contract, and real time CQG charts do not have a long enough history for some of the calculations.

I am using version 9.0 build 10014.

Thanks.

Hello juanmon,

Please configure the symbol mapping from ASCII Mapping instrument to CQG broker instrument.

thanks very much, this is working now.

One more thing I'm trying to do is trade a strategy on the same sort of data (ascii mapped historical 5 minute bars combined with realtime CQG data for current day's bars) on 10 different futures contracts, as opposed to just 1 I am able to do through the charting program. when I set up the contracts in Portfolio Trader, I can get the mapped historical data set up for each contract, but how does one merge this which the realtime cqg data for the 10 contracts in the portfolio? I don't see any box for "merge data sources" as I do in the charting program. I can't seem to find anything in the help/wiki pages on this.

Thanks.

juanmon, "data sources merging" is not available in Portfolio Trader.
