Roll problem

[blar58]

Hi
Today is rolling time in Crude Oil going from CL 07-20 to CL 08-20.
I am changing the contract but my indicator is still using the old CL 07-20 and it will do so for the full day of the roll.

In my code I am using instrument when I refer to the contract.

If I use the print statement to debug and print the Instrument.FullName I see CL 07-20 even if I have changed the chart to CL 08-20.

Do you have any idea about this weird behavior ?

Thank you

Today the front contract is CLN20 yet, IMHO, the rollover next week seems to me

Hello blar58,

The indicator's primary series will be the series of the chart.

Does the script call AddDataSeries() to add a secondary series?

In the script are you printing the Instrument.FullName to the output window?

I am calling AddDataSeries() to add a secondary series ( 1 minute )
I am adding a Bars object for the primary instrument of the script.

In the script I am printing Instrument.FullName

Hello blar58,

If there are multiple series Instruments[0].FullName will be the name of the primary series.

What appears in the output window when printing Print(Instruments[0].FullName); ?

May we have a screenshot of the chart this indicator is applied to?

It says CL 07-20

Hello blar58,

Is the indicator called ProSuiteMarketProfiler?

Open a new chart with no templates or other indicators and add this indicator. On a new chart is the behavior the same?

If the behavior is the same, may I test this on my end?

It is weird it not even related to my indicator.

If I open a new chart with CL 08-20.
I just add an ADX indicator.

It displays the CL 07-20 contract.
I have attached an image.

I realized that to work properly I have to roll the contracts from the database, close NinjaTrader and reopen it.
Don't know why though

Hello blar58,

This could possibly mean that the roll dates are not using the default settings.

To reset these:

• On the Control Center click Tools > Database Management
• In the Update instruments section, check the box for Future expiries as well just in case
• Click the Update button in the Update instruments section
• Restart NinjaTrader

Also, check to ensure the PC Clock is in sync with internet time.

Compare your PC Clock with https://www.time.gov/

If you are not in sync:

• Shutdown NinjaTrader
• Navigate to the Windows Control Panel
• Select Clock and Region -> then click 'Set the time and date'
  (Or click 'Date and Time' if this is visible)
• Click on Internet Time tab
• In the Server: drop-down select time.nist.gov
• Click Update
• If the message that appears says successful your PC clock should now be updated
  If not, select a different server from the Server: drop-down and try again (repeat until one of the servers is successful)
• Restart NinjaTrader
• Connect to a data feed, then right-click the chart and select Reload All Historical Data
