Cannot plot IB's gold chart right

[binwang2]

HI NT experts,

I am using IB as broker and just could not get gold chart right. When using template NYmex metal/energy ETH, I have no problem in plotting any future charts but gold.

The attached are 2 images to show the problem.
GC(gold) Oct 12 contract 1H on NT - does not look right;
GC -Oct 12 contract 1H on IB's TWS - looks right;
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello binwang2,

Thanks for your post.

To chart the GC 12-12 please adjust the rollover date.


To do this go to Tools> Instrument Manager
Under the Avaliable Master Instrument list select the GC
Press Edit
Select the Misc tab
Scroll to the bottom and select Contract Months
Press the "..." Button
Select the 12-12 contact and change the Rollover Date to 7/30/2012
Select OK in the Contract Months, Instrument Editor, and Instrument Manager window


You now should be able to properly chart the GC 12-12


If there is anything further I may assist you with don't hesitate to ask.
