the same chart for different expiration dates

[akozin]

Hi,

I am looking at Corn May 2013 contract but my chart shows July 2012..
Picture is attached.
Could you please advice where is the problem?

Thanks

Alex, what merging option do you use for your ZC master instrument in the Instrument Manager presently?

To access other expiries not currently front month by the auto merge feature set per default, you would need to select 'DoNotMerge' here.

Hi Bertrand,

thank you for very quick reply.

I have changed to "DoNotMerge" in Tools-Options-Data but now it shows Error on loading charts different from 07-12.. Here is the pic:

Thanks for the reply Alex, I'm not sure how many expiries of the current front month the data server would record, but will clarify this and get back to you.

Alex, for the ZC we would record 6 months in advance, so latest contract accessible would be the 01-13 at this point in time. So the error you got accessing 05-13 would be unfortunately expected.

Thank you for letting me know Bertrand,

One last thing - is ti possible to set up not my local time on the chart but Central Time for Chicago?

Could you please describe where I can do it?

Thanks

Alex, NT will take your local PC set time and zone, so to change the time on the chart > change this to reflect Chicago time. Once done, download a fresh set data from the server to make it effective.
