Getting GetNextRolloverDate

[Gerik]

Hello,

I try to retrieve the expiry date and convert it to a string, but unfortunately I get an error message:

Print(Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.GetNextRoll overDate.Month.ToString);

Any ideas why?

Kind regards
Gerik

Hello Gerik,

Thanks for your post.

You would need to provide a complete date/time to the GetNextRollOver(). For example:

if (CurrentBar == 0)
Print(Instrument.MasterInstrument.GetNextRolloverD ate(Time[0]).ToString());

Hello Paul,

I believe here is an issue:

Print("GetNextExpiry(Currentbar): " + Instrument.MasterInstrument.GetNextExpiry(Time[CurrentBar]).ToString() + " GetNextExpiry0: " + Instrument.MasterInstrument.GetNextExpiry(Time[0]).ToString());

Is showing "GetNextExpiry(Currentbar): 01.06.2020 00:00:00 GetNextExpiry0: 01.06.2020 00:00:00" with ES, but it should show 12-20.

How can I retrieve 12-20?

Kind regards

Hello Gerik,

Thanks for your reply.

Did you test my example and does it not provide the next rollover date?

You are using CurrentBar in the Time[barsAgo] which will use the DateTime of the very first bar in the data series and not the actual current bar. CurrentBar is the systems bar counter and it holds the bar count number.

Hello Paul,

your example shows 10.09.2020 00:00:00 using ES.

I want to get 12-20 which is within the symbol name.

Kind regards

Hello Gerik,

Thanks for your reply.

To get the charts instrument name and contract month/year, you can use Print (Bars.Instrument.FullName);
