Bad data

[RobertD]

When I attempt to view two charts, for example 1 for Dec. Corn and 1 for Sept. Corn, they both show the identical data. I am using DTN as my connection, and looking at the data with in DTN, they are different for each month. Why am I unable to chart the data properly within Ninja?

Hello

Thank you for your post.

Please go to Tools > Options > and in the “Data” tab – what do you have selected in the Merge Policy?

What version of the IQFeed Client Software do you currently have installed?

I look forward to assisting you further.

It shows: Merge Back Adjusted and I am using IQFeed 4.7.0.9

Hi RobertD,

When using the Merge Back Adjusted feature you can automatically merge the historical data from previous front-months into the current one and so the the historical data for each contract would be the same except during the actual trading times of those contracts you cited.

If you change your Merge Policy to Do Not Merge and then reload the Historical data by right-clicking on the chart and then selecting Reload Historical Data.

Then you should see the historical data for only the front-month you are charting, and with IQFeed if you wish to view merged historical data you can view the ZC contract with a front month of ##-##, which would be fully represented in NinjaTrader as ZC ##-##, where the pound signs represent a continuous contract with IQFeed.

Many thanks, that solved the problem.
