Historical Data Import/Instrument Mgr Question

[steveaby]

I have some individual futures contract EOD data that I would like to import into NT. However I am having a problem creating a contract for them in the Instrument manager. For example, the expiry list box provides me historic options back to 10-08 but I am trying to go back to the 90's. I have seen in videos where the expiry list box can produce a calender control that I assume would provide more flexibility but can't figure out how to get that. There is also the ##-## entry but can't figure out how to use that. Any ideas on how too create an instrument listing for say KC 11-93. Newbie question!

Hello SteveAby,

Thank you for your post.


To access older contracts, you will need to set your PC's clock back by year.

The ##-## expiry is used for continuous contracts.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if I may be of further assistance.
