    Chart Won't Update for Forward YM Contract

    Hello,

    I am using WIN7 NT7 B13. I have numerous charts open running YM0610 contract. Working fine, Today I decided to also look at a YM0910 contract for a 1 minute chart.

    Using the exact same settings as for the YM 0610 contract, The chart plots the history up to the minute but does not update. Simple bar chart - nothing else in the window.

    I am connected to ZEN, YAHOO and MBT in that order. Historical data for ZEN is enabled, MBT disabled.

    hotdog, please ensure the YM master instrument merge policy is set to 'DoNotMerge' when trying to access a non front month contract such as the YM 09-10.

      Thanks. That worked. But, now I have a question.

      How do I use the Merge feature when I want to keep trading the front month? What do I have to do to set it up?

      Thanks

        Current the June contract is the front month for the YM futures and with the YM master instrument merge policy set to 'UseGlobalSettings' it would use the automatic rollver feature ('MergeBackAdjusted' mode).

        This global setting can be defined under Tools > Options > Data.

        If you like to review rollover dates defined by us, you can do so via each master instrument's misc tab (and also customize those if needed).
