Getting Continuous Future Contract

[dcheg]

Hello. I have a problem with getting continuous future contract for LE (Live Cattle, CME, Globex).

As you can see on attached image there are two nearest contracts for this instrument: LE 02-13 and LE 04-13. Rollover date for LE 04-13 in Instrument Editor is 1/17/2013 (today is 1/31/2013), therefore current active contract is LE 04-13. The current price level for LE 04-13 is about 133.00 points.

But when I load the chart for LE ##-## (continuous contract) I see the latest price level is about 128.00 points. The same price level has a LE 02-13.

I don't understand why NT takes data from old contract when new contract is already active?
How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.
