unable to roll over contracts

[tortoise08]

Why has NT8 made the simplest things so obscure? Where is instrument manager?

Why is it that when I go to instruments>ES>Properties>contract months...it's stuck on contract month 12/01/2017 and rollover date 09/14/2017?

Why when I change the dates to 2016, click "ok" and even close and restart NinjaTrader....is it still stuck on 2017?

Why does this have to be hard?

This is craze-inducing...even if I delete the 12-17 contract from the left side "configured" column...set everything to 2016...click "ok" and "ok" again...and exit ninja...and restart....

It's back to 2017!

Hello tortoise08,

Thank you for your note. I apologize for any frustration you may be experiencing with the NinjaTrader 8 beta. The rollover process is different than NinjaTrader 7, I have provided the steps below.

Please follow these steps to roll over the expiration date of a Futures contract:

Navigate to the Control Center > Tools > Database window.
Left-click the ‘Rollover’ button that appears just below the table under the ‘Rollover futures instruments’ section.
Close this window when this process completes.

Thank you and please let us know if you have any further questions.
