Strategy Analyzer, Kinetic, historical data

[heywally]

Hello - I am using the Kinetic data feed. For regular charts, I am able to define, for instance, ES ##-## and go back to about 2005 or so. But in the Strategy Analyzer, I am unable to see how to define the contract like that and so I am stuck with 'only' about three years of data to backtest against. Am I missing something here? Thanks ....

heywally, can you try moving the ##-## expiry of the ES contract to your default instrument list, this could be then accessed from the Chart and Strategy Analzyer as well :

Even with the help link you provided, I don't see the way to get an instrument with that format - ##-## - into the default list. Obviously, I can get instruments with the expir format into the list .... ie ES 09-11, but not ES ##-##

If you select the expiry to add please scroll down to the very bottom of the list, there's the ##-## expiry then listed for your contracts to select to move this to the default list.

In the 'expiry' drop down window - got it. Thanks Bertrand .....
