NT Brokerage tickers (symbols) to produce month & week charts of S&P 500 Futures

[csrote]

The ES and MES futures contracts often do not have enough data points to produce meaningful Monthly or Weekly charts. Is there a Continuous Contract version that I can use? My data provider is Ninjatrader Brokerage. Thnx!

Hello,

When loading the front month contract, the default merge policy should merge past contracts to effectively create a continuous contract. To ensure you are using this setting, go to Tools>Options>Market Data and set the merge policy to 'merge back adjusted'. If you need to make this change, right click your charts and select 'reload historical data' after changing this setting.

Was loading only 25 days on the Weekly chart. Changed to 5475 days and now appears to work properly.
What are proper number of days to load for 5-15-60-240-480 min and Daily-Weekly-Monthly charts?
Are Equities RTH hours proper for these types of charts?
Thnx!

Hello,

Daily, Weekly, and monthly charts will use an ETH trading hours template by default. Any minute based charts will use whatever template is selected in the 'trading hours' section of the data series menu.
