I am struggling to get the instrument settings correct on some micro futures ( 10Y MNG XK XC ) I am using Rithmic data and DTN. I set the Alias to the correct DTN symbol and tried different sessions and price settings. Can't get market dept to show on DOM or the open P& L to show correctly.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I am sharing below my instrument settings for Mini Nat Gas, Mini Corn and Mini Soybean contracts.
As I use IQ feed as my main data feed and Rithmic as "brokerage destination", my setup windows might slightly differ from yours as you have Rithmic as the main data source and DTNMA for historical data.
Please also note that, being based in Europe, all my session hours are Chicago +7 (and I also have customized the session numbers, so yours might differ)
Anyhow, as indicated, for mini Nat Gas, QGG4 is the current Rithmic contract, with the DTN continuous symbol being @QG#. (Tick size = 1/200)
For miniCorn/Soybean, XCH4 and XKH4 are the current Rithmic contracts, but DTN symbols are @YC# and @YK# (Tick size = 1/8)
Make sure also that you have selected the right exchange (NYMEX/CBOT) in the setup window
I hope this will help fix your issues
Cheers
Eddy
Thank Eddy, I am using the new MNG for micro natural gas. It was working before I rolled it, but now not working. Definitely something to with the settings between Rithmic and DTN. Only having issue with the newer micros. I'll keep trying.
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion, I provided indeed data for the mini Nat Gas contract - For the Micro Nat gas, the DTN symbol is QMNG# and the current Rithmic symbol is MNGH4
I am getting data on my side, both from Rithmic and from DTN/IQfeed. So something must be wrong with your settings.
By comparing your MNG future setup and MNGH4 instrument setup with the settings attached below, you should find the issue.

Thank you so much.
