Import futures symbol list

[marcoheimann]

Hi,

I would like to have a symbol list with expired contract months (ES, ZB, YM, YG) I found that there is a workaround that consist in setting back the windows date which makes those contract months reappear in the instrument manager.

Sine I would like to have the same liste on several computers I also tried to create a symbol list (eg. ES 03-13, ES 12-12,...) but when I trie to import it NT says its the wrong format. Even single contracts are not imported. Is there any easier way or will I have to do set back the time on every pc and select all contracts manually?

Greetings,

Marco

Hello Marco,

Thank you for your note.

At this time you would need to continue to set the PC's clock back. We are looking in to other ways of handling this type of use in the future however no work-around is possible at this time.

If other questions come to mind please let me know.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Just to be sure that I understand it right. Importing symbol lists only works with stocks, not with futures?

Hello Marco,

Yes - that is correct.
