I am NT7 user that just installed NT8. I'm trying to add the new month for ES and can't figure how to do it?!

why did this change from NT7?

Just type it in a chart or wherever you are using it for. Then you can use the pushpin to "save it" in the list.

"ES 12-16" (without the quotes)

The instrument manager from NinjaTrader 7 will not be the same within NinjaTrader 8. Adding instruments was moved to the data series window.
