I cannot find December contract

[JackyP]

Hello. I followed directions on how to do rollover by going through database management and clicking rollover but when I try to choose contracts in the chart, ES December contract is still not showing up. Please help.

Hello JackyP,

Thank you for the message.

Just manually type in the Instrument and contract you want to see and press Enter on the keyboard.

• So, if you wanted to see the December contract for the ES, type in ES 12-23 and then press Enter on the keyboard
• This works for all of the different instruments

You could also click the Instrument Menu dropdown. Then go to the Micros or Futures section and look through the list for your desired instruments.


Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

It is ok to change contracts now to December, right?

Hello JackyP,

Thank you for the message.

It is totally up to you if you want to switch to the December contract and start trading that now.

• If the Contract is active and trading, then you can switch to it and start trading
• Please be aware that if the volume of traders is lower on that contract, the chart could have gaps or slower movement

If you plan on looking at the Future and Current Contracts, then you may want to change the Merge Policy in the platform to "Do Not Merge" so you can see the Historical data for each specific contract.

• You may find the steps to switch Merge Policies at the link below:
