Global chart rollover... how do I do it?

[mrlucky1x]

I have 14 index future charts in various workspaces that I need to rollover to March '08. Is there a way to do this globally? How about a continuous contract like on Tradestation?

HI,

Unfortunately all contracts need to be rolled over manually. We don't have continuous contracts, however you can merge indiviual contracts into one continuos one

For Rolling Over:
Open up the Instrument Manager, highlight the contract on the left window side. Then press the '>' button. The instrument will now disappear from the list, check if the expiry is 03-08. If it is, press the '<' button and the instrument will be back in the list and upgraded. To continue press OK.

If the expire date is not set to 03-08, change it to this date and then press '<' and OK.

We also have a video available about this in our Help Guide: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/RollingOverAFuturesContract.html
