getting a demo liquidation error on the ZB contract

[ssrockstarss]

I am on the ninjatrader desktop software and I am trying to trade the ZB MAR 24 contract. The error I am receiving is that it is for "liquidation only, contract is about to be expired." I thought the rollover for ZB MAR 24 isn't until 2024. Am I missing something here? Let me know what the issue is.

Hello ssrockstarss ,

Thank you for your post.

I am seeing a Rollover notification for ZB on my platform:




Please test by rolling over first.

You may follow the steps below to rollover any available Futures contracts on the NinjaTrader Desktop app.

• Close this window when the process completes.
