Which exchange/symbol do I use to produce charts for the SGX Nikkei 225?

That instrument is traded on the Singapore Exchange and the symbol is NK [month code][last digit year]-SI

I selected the SGX futures exchange and tried the following symbol NK 1!-SI, and the format you mentioned below, all to no avail. I'm not sure what is wrong.

It does seem that NK is a typo on the symbols page. Try using NI as the root symbol

It's not working I just get a "Req Sent..." message in the cursor window.

At my end it appears to be working fine [both intraday and daily] when using NI as the root symbol for the specific and user configured continuous contracts

This format "NI U7-SI" works; however, the following esignal link has the format as "NI 7U-SI":

Additionally, the NI 1!-SI format still doesn't work for me.

Kevinmclark,

there is indeed a typo on that page which has now been corrected.

Regarding your issue with the continuation contract for the Nikkei, please contact us directly in order to check your settings in real time.

There are two more that I know of. One is traded on the Osaka Securities Exchange (root symbol NI225) and the other is traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (root symbol NK).
See the links for examples of the required symbol formats (and exchange codes where applicable)

In addition to the information Alex provided, you may
also find the new Nikkei225 Mini that is listed in Osaka
interesting. The symbol is NI225_M U7-OSM.
It is traded in 5 yen ticks vs 10 yen for the NI225.
