Hello elliot5,

Thanks for your post.

The rollover dates in the Instrument editor are the only dates associated with an instrument in NinjaTrader.

The RolloverIndications indicator from the Ecosystem User App Share gets the next contract month and from this, you can get the date. You could copy the code from the RolloverIndications indicator into your coded script, then subtract that date from today's date to see how many days it will be.

Let me know if I may assist further.

if(BarsInProgress == 20)
{
DaysToExpiry = (Bars.Instrument.MasterInstrument.RolloverCollecti on[20].Date - DateTime.Now.Date);
}

The above call does not work - am i looking in the right place?
Regards and thanks
