Tangeto Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hi IB will start trading the new Mini Dax future in November. I was wondering how to chart this future. The problems is the symbol IB use for the main Dax future and the mini is the same, to differentiate them you adjust the multiplier to either 25 or 5. Since the symbol " Dax " is used for both I cant work out how to add both to MT. @Daxz15 adds the Main Dec Future but what would add the Mini?

Jerry Medved Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Giving it a new symbol would just be too easy. IB has to go with the multiplier. I will need to look at it. Since it is not trading yet, I assume there is no quote, so can't really test right now. Do you by chance know of another symbol that is only distinguished by the multiplier?

Tangeto Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Its the first time I've come across anything like it. Although notification from IB said 2nd NOV I've got quotes up now with volume so I assume its tradable already although I haven't tried. It even looks confusing 2 Dax Dec Futures. Like you say whats wrong with a new symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I added Multiplier handling to symbols. Updated the docs: http://forums.medvedtrader.com/index.php?/topic/1263-medved-trader-beta-instructions/ Will email you with the intraday build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
