Instrument manager

Hello,

How do I go about adding futures contracts prior to 2015 to the Instrument list for backtesting? Thanks in advance...

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

To add these instruments you will need to shut NinjaTrader down then set the PC's clock back to a date when these contracts would have been valid. Next, restart NinjaTrader and open the Instrument Manager to add the pre-2015 contract to NinjaTrader's Default instrument list. Finally, shut NinjaTrader down and set the PC's clock back to the current date. When NinjaTrader is restarted the instruments which you added to the Default list will be available.

The steps which you will need to take to add the instrument to the Default list are available at this link to our Help Guide: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ment_lists.htm
