NT freezes - DOM issue?
I have uploaded two videos Attn: RyanM with a capture of NT freezing charts while having valid data connections. If I open and close the DOM, then the charts will update. But with the DOM open, or the DOM closed, the charts do not update!Tags: None

Hello,
Thanks for your forum post.
This is occuring because your using wrong expiry/ future expiry. The 03-11 is the front month contract. The 06-11 is the future contract. No one is trading it so that last price does not update because your chart is based on the last price. The last price only updates when a trade occurs. Since theres no trading theres no updating. When you open and close a DOM this forces a manual update.
PLease switch to the 03-11 contract or if you truly want the 06-11 switch your chart to a bid chart. Right click Data Series->Type form last to Bid for example.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

It is hard to understand all the intricacies of the updates. If I have a DOM open with the TF 06-11 contract, and there is volume, then shouldn't the chart update? How does this relate to the Time and Sales window. In short, what directly correlates to which contract? Does a DOM with TF 06-11 show volume even though it is really volume for TF 03-11? What about Time and Sales?

Hello,
The last price which is the yellow highlighted price on the dom and the price that is shown on the chart when your viewing a last price chart.
Last price is when a trade occurs. When a trade occurs, otherwise known as a tick is when the chart will update, the DOM will update, and the indicator/strategies will calculate.
Without a recieved tick non of this will work. Since there is really not trading going on only very light the last price would only update when a trade occured.
I look forward to assisting you further.

Ok, that is helping me understand how this really works. I was using the next contract in anticipation of the rollover. I don't like getting stuck with the old contract. And my data provider, Vision (which I think is really Zenfire), does not provide continuous contracts. I guess traders just all roll together at the right day to avoid this.
