[shortcreeker]

the GC 12-16 chart is not plotting correctly on NT8 RC1 Please see screen shot of NT7 chart and NT8 Chart the bars are not at the correct price and their volume is incorrect. I deleted all of the files in the this directory Documents\NinjaTrader 8\db\minute NT8 then reloaded the data but the results are the same.

NinjaTrader 8's internal rollover and contract dates include the GC 10-16. According to the rollovers, the 10-16 is the front month until September 30th.

You are seeing a discrepancy between NinjaTrader 7 and NinjaTrader 8 because NinjaTrader 7 does not include the 10-16 contract and goes directly from 08-16 to 12-16.

In NinjaTraser 8, NinjaTrader is loading the historical data from the current front month (10-16) and printing real-time data from the month which you have loaded (12-16).

If you do not want your charts to merge back past contracts, you can change your merge policy to Do Not Merge under Tools > Market Data

If you wish to continue merging contracts, you will need to manually adjust the rollover:

• Control Center > Tools > Instruments
• Type "GC" into the search field > Double left click on the GC instrument
• Scroll to the bottom of the settings > Click on the "XX rollovers"
• Highlight the 12-16 contract month > change the "Rollover date" to any date prior to today (09/21/16, for example)
• OK > OK > Close
• Right click on your chart and select "Reload all historical data

Hello Patrick,

I did a manually adjust (GC 12-16) up to last sunday and works fine. Thanks. Should I do some change up to Sep 30 ?

Thanks in advance.

No change is required. Switching the date back to the default of the 30th would change the date at which NinjaTrader chooses to load historical data for the 12-16. Currently, it is loading from the date which you switched it to.
