How to pull a chart for NQ 12-24?

[psangram]

I tried loading a new chart with NQ 12-24 but it is still showing the NQ 09-24 price on the chart. Why?
Can you help me pull up this chart? Basically i want to pull up the next month or future month contract.

Hello psangram ,

Thank you for reaching out.

Are you trying to do this solely for viewing purposes?

Please see the volume from the CME website:


December is very low liquidity still.

But if you are sure you want to Rollover already:

The NQ 09-24 doesn't rollover to December in NinjaTrader until 09/09/2024. 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 the 'NQ 12-24' contract 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.

I do not want to rollover but just want to view it on the chart and i was wondering why chart was not showing the right price for NQ dec contract(as per the screenshots attached in the first thread).

Even now, when i looked at it - what is this big candle? (Price shows currently now but may be not during the after hours? Is that possible?)
NOte: i just loaded the NQ 12-24 chart at 11:41. So before that time, it seems like the price on the chart is for NQ 09-24
