I am using Kinetic historical data
1) The offset value
- Please look at MGC 06-16 as an example
- Your database gives an Offset value of 2.4 for the 31/03/2016.
- Your help pages says that the value is either taken from your database (if available) or calculated locally. If caculated locally, we take the difference between the close of new and old expiry one day prior to rollover date.
- If i take the close values from the historical database on the 30/03/2016, i calculate the offset value to be 1.7, not 2.4. (1228.6- 1226.9).
- So.. this implies that my offset value is not being calculated locally.
- So its calculated in your end (with different data I assume).
- Question: what data are you using for this and how do you get to an offset of 2.4 ?
- If I dont like the offset value, but agree with your rollover date, I have a problem because I cant change it; the database will override any changes I make.
- Question: why cant you allow me to have full control of my offsets/rollover dates ?
2) Deleting contract months
- there are contracts months that we are just not interested in trading.
- October Gold.. for instance
- May Hogs .. for instance
- I remove the contract from the Contract Months list, as your the help pages says; "You can add and remove contract months by selecting the add and remove buttons in the bottom of the Configured section."
- Great, the contract is gone.
- Then I restart NT (there are a number of reasons we have to restart NT; always against our wishes but it happens)
- The contract which I deleted now re-appears in the list
- This must be a bug, one of the nasty variety
- Question: Can/will you fix this please ?
Thank you in advance
