Corn prices off by about $10

[Billythekid747]

Hello,
Ninjatrader is not showing the correct price of Corn. Please see the comparison for the December contract to Barchart.com and Tradingview.com in the picture below. Please tell me how to fix this. I am using default instrument settings for the session template, but the same problem occurs even if I switch to a different session template. The price is about $10 away from actual.

This is a result of NinjaTrader's merge policy and the fact that the ZC 12-16 doesn't roll over within NinjaTrader until tomorrow.

If you want to rollover before that and continue to merge past contracts, you will need to adjust the rollover date.

See the video below on how to do this.

If you do not want your charts to merge back past contracts, you can change your merge policy to Do Not Merge under Tools> Options> Data

Below I have provided a link to the Understanding Merge Policies section of the help guide.

Thank you. Setting these to DO NOT MERGE fixed my problem! My candles in Ninjatrader still don't look exactly like those on other services, and I think this may be due to my session templates--if have different opening and closing times than the instrument currently trades at.
