Mini AG Products for TS?

[Lopen]

Does anyone know if TradeStation provides data feed for mini AG products on the CBOT? Is it possible to use esignal data to and chart products on TS? Thank you.

[notouch]

I think the mini ags are pit only so it's unlikely TS provides a data feed.

You can use esignal data with the old TradeStation 2000 I believe but not with the current version.

I thought minis Ags are not offered yet. I tried the symbols given at CBOT in TS but only show symbol errors.

I am actually interested in the mini Ag's... didnt realize they were not offered yet. Anyone know when they become available?

[cooter]

Yes, they are offered. Try doing a SYMBOL LOOKUP in Tradestation if you have it installed.

Click futures, then type in one of them, such as "corn" (without the quotes).

Uncheck the box that says "Show Electronic Contracts Only". This will also show any pit contracts in the results.

Click the button that says "Lookup".

Scroll through the results, and you should see contracts for "mini-sized Corn" at the CBOT.

Rinse and repeat for the wheat and soybeans minis.

cooter, tried that didn't see emini for corn, wheat and soybean, nada. Not sure if you have a different build from mine. 3264 build here.

TS 8.2 (Build 3863) here.

Assuming your setup is enabled for CBOT data (e.g you get the DOW e-minis YM data), you should be able to get the following for free:

Mini-sized Corn: YC.P
Mini-sized Soybeans: YK.P
Mini-sized Wheat: YW.P

If not, contact TS Support and ask them why you're not receiving it.

[notouch]

These are pit only contracts so how do you expect your orders are going to go through?

[cooter]

What do you mean, notouch? Same as any other pit-traded contract.

[notouch]

I've never traded a pit-traded contract so I wouldn't know. I assume it's very different from an electronic contract.
