Rollover option for Futures Contracts

[Oil_Trader]

Is it possible to have an option whereas we don't have to "MergeBackadjust" the contract time series?

Instead we execute a roll transaction for the open positions during the rollover day??

Hello,

Thank you for your forum post.

You posted this on the non NinjaTrader 7 forum section are you using NinjaTrader 6.5 or NinjaTrader 7 as this MergeBackAdjusted is a feature new to NinjaTrader 7.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

NT7,

Yes the time series is backadjusted but what I am saying is the position actually exits the previous month contract and enters the properties into the new front month contract.

Hello,

Not sure I understand as the historical data does not relate to live orders? Are you refering to during a backtest?

Here are your options for historical data merge options, this setting is avaliable under Control Center->Tools->Options->Data Tab. You can set to MergeBackAdjusted/DoNotMerge/and MargeNonBackAdjusted (May be what your looking for)
