Continuous contract and gaps

[Mercader]

Well, now I have another problem.

I imported data succesfully from another provider since 1997 for FGBL.

I created new "contract months" on instrument editor with their rollover date and name correctly but I can´t see the chart before the contracts defined by default in the instrument.

Hi,

Just to confirm that I understand, you mean that you are not able to access the expiry dates (09-13, 06-13, etc.) for some older contracts, correct?

If that is correct, we can force NinjaTrader to allow you to access these contracts by shutting down NinjaTrader and setting the PC's date to a time when the contract would have been valid. After resetting the PC date, NinjaTrader could be restarted and the Instrument Manager would allow selection of these past contracts.

[Mercader]

I´ll try it
The last contract that I can see (on the chart) is 03-05 that it is by default in FGBL but I added contract since 12-04 to 03-97 and they are in the contract month of the instument editor but I can´t see them on the chart.

[Mercader]

It doesn´t works.

Hello,

To clarify, you are checking the Instrument Manager window or the Instrument Editor's Contract Months window?

Yes, I created new contract months, but then, they aren't on the historical dat like a new contract.

Mercader, ok as you imported the data back to 1997 for FGBL, did you import it for the ##-## contract? This would be designated by the name of the txt file to import chosen.

To have it available for the individual contracts as well, you would need to import data then for each of those, too.

[Mercader]

I´ve imported data for ##-## contract and for individual contracts changing the name of everyone but for example at the historical data, the last contract I can see is 03-05 and the others that I created aren´t there.

Hello Mercader,

Please post a screenshot of the window you are viewing the contract months in.

[Mercader]

Here you are.

Hello Mercader,

Thank you for the screenshot.

If you change the date on your PC clock back to the 90's and restart NinjaTrader, are you able to see these contract months?

I did so yesterday and it doesn't works.
I created a new instrument and I mported data from there and now I can see all data, but I can't do the same on the current contract month either ##-##
