Different Month Contract Chart

[Oil_Trader]

Hi,

When I plot and overlay 3 Calendar Contract Months(Nov, Dec, Jan)...it is not saving the raw data and plotting the Dec and Jan....instead it used the data for Nov(front month)....

How do I force download the historical of the Dec and Jan contracts?

see attached image

Hello Oil_Trader,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, I'm not following. Can you elaborate on what the image is intended to show?

It is overlaying the 3 different contract months....but as you can see all 3 price series(Nov, Dec, Jan) merged in the beginning.

It seems like it is using the front month(Nov) contract data for the next 2 contract months(Dec, Jan).

How do i get the load the data Dec and Jan using its own time series as oppose to using Nov when I load the chart?

Hi Oil_Trader,

Thanks for the clarification.

In the Control Center, please open the Options menu by clicking Tools > Options, then navigate to the Data tab.

What merge policy setting are you using?

[Oil_Trader]

I am using MergeBackAdjusted...

Hi Oil_Trader,

Thanks for the clarification.

Please set this property to 'DoNotMerge', then click OK.
After clicking OK, reload historical data in your chart.

Hi Oil_Trader,

I'm not totally sure, but it sounds like you may be referring to Z-order.
