Hello,

I have not heard any reports yet - can you please clarify which servers you are using? Zen-Fire, CQG, etc?

[bltoby]

it seems ok now, thanks.

Thanks - I can confirm that the data exists on our historical data servers for the GC 06-12 contact.

Please let me know if there is I can do for you.

the real problem is: The backfill data for GC 06-12 are actually the GC 04-12 ' historical data. You should be able to notice that by comparing vol and ohlc price in the min charts for these two contracts. Thay are 100% the same, which in real should not be.

This would be due to these contracts not programmed to roll over until tomorrow (03-30)

If you wish to roll over to the 06-12 now, you will need to change the roll over date for these contracts

You can do this by going to Tools--> Instrument Manager--> locate the instrument and select 'Edit'.

From the Instrument Editor, click on the Misc tab--> scroll down the the "Contract Months" section.

Click here for more information on Understanding the Misc tab > Contract Months

You will want to edit the 06-12 roll over date to the day you wish to roll over and then hit ok.

Once you have made this change, you can right click on your charted instrument and select 'reload all historical data'.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

That was a huge help! Have been trying to figure out how to switch contracts - but the charts weren't making any sense. Followed your instructions above - worked great! Learning even more tricks with Ninja.
