Instrument period rollover

[ct]

Is there a good way to get the current instrument period when adding an additional time frame?

I use the grains many of which have different period ends (11-12, 12-12). Is there a simple way to automate the rollover period dates for the various instruments?

I don't think there is but thought I would ask before I do it the hard way.

ct,

You may want to consider using the continuous contract, it has expiry ##-##. This will never need to be rolled over and instead you can just attach your strategy to the most recent contract whenever you normally disable / re-enable it.

If I knew more about your needs I may be able to make a better recommendation here. Could you clarify or add to your post?

You bulls-eyed it. I use several correlated markets on one chart. It is a pain to roll them all as they roll independently and not on the same day. If I am not looking at the correct contract period I will not get the correct results.

Cheers

I have a chart I changed to use the ##-## period. All 3 stopped loading data at midnight 00:00. I changed a time frame back to use the contact period and it loaded the data after midnight for that instrument but not the others still using ##.

My session template does not use midnight but 18:00 to 15:00 the following day.

Even the DOM was frozen.

what do i have set wrong?

Who is your data provider? Could you possibly send your log/trace to support at ninjatrader dot com, or post here if you are comfortable? We can also work with you there.
