Hello kidpoker007 ,

Thank you for reaching out.

What contract were you trying to rollover on NT8? Those other platform most likely already show September contracts automatically, while NT8 has preconfigured dates for when it "should" be rolled over.

For example, the ES 06-24 doesn't rollover to 09-24 in NinjaTrader until June 17th. If you would like to rollover before this date, you can manually adjust any contract rollover date using the following steps:

• Go to the Control Center > Tools > Instruments window
• Search for and double-click on the Instrument you wish to modify to pull up its Properties window (or highlight it and select edit at the bottom of the window)
• Scroll down and select 'Edit Rollovers' next to the Contract Months setting
• Select your contract date from the 'Configured' list on the left, and then change its 'Rollover Date' to any day prior to today on the right. Click 'OK' to apply.
• Close this window. Go to the Tools > Database Management Window and click "Rollover". Click OK to close this window once the process is complete.
• Right-click on your Chart and select 'Reload Historical Data' for the changes to take effect.

All contract rollover dates may be viewed in the 'Upcoming Events' calendar on your NinjaTrader Account Dashboard.

If you do not want your chart to automatically merge previous contracts together as a continuous chart, you may change the Global Merge Policy to 'Do not merge' in the Tools > Options > Market Data window. Additional information on contract Merge Policies may be read here in our NinjaTrader Help Guide.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
