Futures Contract Merging

[dgregor5]

hmmm..........

now i have 2 issues:

1/ when I have TS as an 'external data feed' I get the following error message when trying to connect to ZenFire ---

Loging failed: You cannot connect while having an open "External Data Feed" connection...........

2/ I have exported the @YM historical data from TS into Ninja as per your Help guide. I have then imported the data into NT as per your help guide..........however, how do i view the data??? I am still seeing the old data set............

Many thx for your help on both these issues.
thx

correct

Quick question to NinjaTrader:
Due to the issue below, my plan is to use TradeStation datafeed into NinjaTrader for charting & trade execution via the DOM with AmpFutures (using ZenFire datafeed).

Am I assuming that this is possible by connecting first to TS & then to ZenFire.

Currently I am using DTN IQ for the charting & Amp Futures for the execution (using ZenFire).

Many thx for the clarification.

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.

I´m not a programmer but when the software already is able to adjust the history maybe it would be possible to ad the possibility to manually set up the adjustment-difference in a future version?
This would also make it possible to build non-adjusted contracts which are helpful in some situations.

Thanks a lot.

Our approach is the most common of several methods out there. I believe its also the method used by others, IQFeed for sure.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Your understanding is correct

[Joerg]

So (real existing) price gaps of the night get lost?

>> How is the difference calculated for adjusting the older data to the level of the newer contract?
Open of expiry2 - Close of expiry1 at merging date.

How is the difference calculated for adjusting the older data to the level of the newer contract?

In the help I can´t find this info.

Thanks a lot.
