Loading Historical Data using Instrument Manager

[Sniff]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Instrument Manager to add contracts of ZB from more than a year ago. The drop-down menu lists contracts back to 1-16 but I want to look at data from the 2015 contracts. If I click on ZB, then "Edit," then "Misc" tab, then "Contract Months" (at the bottom), I can see that there are contracts going back many years but I can't add them to my instrument list from there. I'm using Kinetick, so I'm sure the data's available--I just can't add it.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.

Hello Sniff,

Thanks for posting.

The dates that are available in the Instrument Manager Contract Months drop-down menu would be based on the current PC date/time. To view previous expiries, shut NinjaTrader down and set the PC clock back to around the time of the expiries, then restart the platform.

Wow, that's a bit odd. But if it works, hey, I'll try it!

Thanks.
