Trying to load SI (Silver futures) Daily & Higher with Kinetick FREE EOD

[rhubear]

I've found SI futures contract in the Master "Instruments" list. Stored there with definitions etc.
I've had to try adding SI into the "Instruments List" for use in NT8. All the other entries in the futures list have their expiry date. When adding SI, no expiry appears or is prompted for.
What is loaded on screen if I try SI on a chart is only a FEW bars.

I would prefer to load the "continuous contract" for gold & silver. However specifying "SI00" as symbol gives an error.

Am I trying instruments which are not available with the free version of Kinetick? Otherwise how can I get gold & silver daily loaded here?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

It looks like you added "SI" as a stock rather than a future. It loads this way when no expiry is present.

The current expiry for SI is 03-20. To load this into a chart, simply type SI 03-20 and press enter.

*To add it to your list, go to Tools->Instrument Lists.
*Select your Futures list.
*Remove the "SI" instrument you have currently there.
*Then, click "Add"
*Type Si 03-19 and press Enter.

FInally, Continuous contracts would be loaded with the expiry ##-##. So for this instrument, it would be SI ##-##.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
