Hello rockdasher,

Thank you for your reply. This is the NinjaTrader 7 forum, which is why I provided instructions for NinjaTrader 7.

Since the current build of NinjaTrader 8 is 8.0.10.0, I still suggest starting with an upgrade. The process is the same as upgrading NinjaTrader 7, just select NinjaTrader 8 before downloading.

To reset your instruments in NinjaTrader 8, please take the steps below.

First, disconnect from any data providers by navigating to the Control Center > Connections menu, and left-click on “disconnect” that appears to the right when hovering your mouse over any active connection
Next, reset your instruments by navigating to the Control Center > Tools > Database Management
In the Database Management window, under the “Update instruments” section, ensure that “General properties”, "Futures expiries" and “Symbol mappings” options are checked and then click Update
Lastly, restart NinjaTrader for the changes to occur

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hello, I have been using the CL 12-17 Symbol normally. But when I try to change to the new CL 01-18, it tells me "Invalid Instrument name". Do I have to resubscribe for 2018 Futures' signals or something?
