Expiry instruments in demo

[Ufesa]

I recently requested a demo for a SIM account that I have open for some time. When I enter an instrument the expiration is still 12-18. Before the new instruments introduced change their expiration.
I put manually 03-19 and the market does not appear.

How do I do it?


Thank you.

Hello Ufesa,
Thanks for your post.


Please follow the instructions below to roll over the expiration date of a futures contract.

• From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools> Instrument Manager
• Highlight the contract you wish to rollover on the left side of the Instrument Manager window
• Press the '>' button (the instrument will disappear from the list)
• Press the '<' button and the instrument should re-appear with the front-month expiration date
• Select 'OK'
• Select the updated contract in the Instrument drop-down menu within your currently opened windows (Charts, SuperDOMs, etc).

I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over rolling over a futures contract.

If the issue persists after rolling over the contract in the NinjaTrader database, please take a look at the Logs tab of your Control Center and see if there are any errors.

Ufesa,

My apologies for that oversight. I have modified my previous response to be appropriate for NT7.
