Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately Zen-Fire does not support continuous contracts.

The Euro Future symbol is 6E.

You can merge previouse contract data into the current front month to create you own 'continuous contract'. Instructions here: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...eV6/Merge.html

Hello syxfx,

Yes, as Zen-Fire does not offer continuous contracts, they are not available in NinjaTrader 7 either.

With that said, NT 7 does include an automatic merging feature which can combine prior contracts in to the current contract, simulating a continuous chart.
