We have added the required code to seamlessly translate each of these into very similar symbols. For example, $SPX has been scaled and translated to SPY, so the quotes are virtually identical. If you install the attached file into your ...\Nirvana\OT20##\Dlls folder replacing the old file, then restart OT, you should gain access to the translated indexes. You may need to also right-click the file, select Properties, & click Unblock, for it to work. Current translations: $SPX -> SPY $VIX -> VIXFIX of SPY $OEX -> OEF $RUI -> IWB $NDX -> QQQ $COMP -> ONEQ $RUT -> IWM $RUA -> IWV Attached file : Vendors.otd (1064KB - 207 downloads)
