backteaster not working ?

[benrock]

i made a simple sma crossover stratergy and it shows nothing , even the sample stratergies show no results just zeros .

what am i doing wrong ?

also the futures show 12-11 as the date instead of 6-12 , how do i fix that ?

thanks

benrock, what data feed provider / broker and with which timeframes are you working here?

On my link below from our helpguide you can learn how to rollover to the current front months contract like 06-12 for the ES and other index futures - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...es_contrac.htm

Please then retest the sample strategies on this current contract as well.

why wouldnt it update to the right expire month ? so every new expire i have to put in new values for futures ?

Basically because it would not know when you want to switch over exactly, futures rollover is mostly not an exact thing, especially for more exotic contracts - however we've listed this area already on our product enhancement list for potential enhancement.
