Continuous contract vs specific expiry

[NinjaTrader_Jason]

Hello DanielLazo,

NinjaTrader Desktop by default merges historical data from previous expiry months with an offset value to avoid gaps. The offset value is the price difference at rollover. This causes all OHLC prices of the previous expiry month to be adjusted by the offset price.

If you like to load data from previous expiry months that is not adjusted, please perform the steps below.

• Go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instruments
• Double click the ES futures
• Set 'Merge policy' to 'Merge non back adjusted
• Click OK-->Close

Then right click in the ES MAR24 chart and select 'Reload All Historical Data'. You can find more information on the merge policy setting in our help guide.

Click 'Desktop Help Guides' to open the NinjaTrader Desktop help guide. Subsequently click Configuration-->Options-->Market data-->Merge Policy on the left.
