How on earth does one rollover a futures contract in Ninjatrader 8...?

[tortoise08]

...and why is it so obscure?

I'm scrambling here. Please don't like to a video. Just steps 1-2-3,

Thanks

Hello tortoise08,

Thank you for your post.

To roll over a futures contract in NinjaTrader 8, please follow the directions below.

* Navigate to Control Center > Tools > Database Management
* In the window that pops up, you should see a list of instruments that are eligible to be rolled over. A contract is eligible to be rolled when today's date is greater then or equal to the rollover date defined for the instruments next contract month.
* Ensure that the "Update" box is checked next to all instruments you wish to roll over and click the "Rollover" button underneath the list.

Here is a link to our help guide illustrating this process:
