Hi BobTN,

Thanks for the clarification.

While '##-##' data does exist on the NinjaTrader historical data server, Zen-Fire is not a provider who offers real-time data for continuous contracts. As a consequence of this, the chart will reload it's historical data, but no udpates will be seen until the reloading is forced.

Which providers does ##-## work with?

Hi BobTN,

The following providers offer real-time data for continuous futures contracts.

• BarChart
• eSignal
• Kinetick (NinjaTrader 7 only)
