Continuous Symbol Data

[Trader17]

Does NT8 have continuous symbols for back testing purposes? So a month and year is not used in the symbol. Simply something like say @NQ or @ES etc.
Thank you.

Hello Trader17,

Thanks for writing in to our Support team.

Continuous contracts are not supported in NinjaTrader 8 - but you can adjust your merge policy settings to emulate a continuous contract. To get to your Merge policy settings, go to Tools --> Options --> Market Data --> Merge policy. Choose MergeBackAdjusted to emulate a continuous contract.

You can find more information about merge policies in our help guide here:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
