Hello,

Thank you for the update.

In order to set an old expiry, even if it is not on the instrument manager list, please follow these steps.



* Close NinjaTrader.

* Open up the local calendar through Windows by by double clicking on the clock in the lower right corner of your desktop. Left click and select 'Change date and time settings..' in Windows 7.

* Change the date in Windows to 3/1/13, or the desired date for any instrument.

* Open NinjaTrader, From the Control Center -> Tools -> Instrument Manger, search and select the instrument, then set the Expiry.

* Press the '<' arrow to add it to your Default List and press 'OK'

* Close NinjaTrader once again, and open your clock properties and set it to the correct date




Now you will have an older expiry in your Default List, and you will receive historical data based on what your data provider supports.
