Adding an Option to an Instrument List
In the Instrument Manager to add an option to an instrument list first select the underlying symbol. Then in the "Series" field add the remaining option designation symbols. See the screenshot below as an example.
Once added select the left arrow button to add the instrument to the selected instrument list. Once options expire you will need to roll forward the instrument, to do this follow the below guide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...es_contrac.htm
