Hello Murphy67,

Thank you for posting on the NinjaTrader forums.

Based on the information, it sounds like you are loading this correctly. You can expect to see a "gap up" based on your merge policy:

• https://ninjatrader[dot]com/support/helpGuides/nt8/NT%20HelpGuide%20English[dot]html?merge_policy.htm

By default, your merge policy will be set to 'MergeBackAdjusted' - this will use offset values to back adjust the historical price data to match the next front month. i.e MES JUN24 to MES SEP24.


You could use 'MergeNonBackAdjusted' to leave these values 'raw' without an offset, or you can use 'Do Not Merge' to ONLY see the specific data series requested. (MES SEP24).



** Edit: To change your Merge Policy you'll want to go to Tools > Options > Market Data > Global Merge Policy.

Note that this is applicable to all charts, not just a specific one.



Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
