Rollover Futures Instruments

This will rollover your futures instrument to the most recent expiries across all open workspaces. If there are instruments open in the workspace that are eligible to be rolled forward they will be shown in the grid. For more information on this process please see the rolling over a futures contract section of the help guide.

Update Instruments

This will replace and update all instruments to current server definitions.

The NinjaTrader data server maintains definitions for Instruments, NinjaTrader will update your local instrument general properties and symbol mappings should there be any changes on the server automatically. However if you make any changes to the either the general properties or the symbol mappings for an instrument then the instrument would no longer be automatically updated. Using this utility will remove any custom changes you have made locally and update the instrument definition to the servers version.

Update Instruments Lists

This will replace and update all instrument lists to current server definitions.

The NinjaTrader data server maintains definitions for the following instrument lists:

•Dow 30

•FOREX

•Futures

•Indexes

•NASDAQ 100

•SP 500

Any time there is an instrument added or removed to the above instrument lists they will be automatically updated by NinjaTrader. However if you add or remove instruments from the list manually using the Instrument Lists window then the instrument list will no longer continue to be updated automatically by NinjaTrader. Should you wish to update and reset your instrument lists manually then you would use the following update utility.

Note: If you would like to report an incorrect or missing server definition please send an email to [email protected] and we will promptly correct the issue.

Within the General section go to Preferences and set the Versions of recovery workspaces. See the Options General section.
