ES data for prior years

[RedDuke]

Hello,

I am trying to get data for past years for ES across various months. Since I need to use data across various trading months at the same time, using continuous symbol does not work for me. When I try to add instrument for prior years, the drop down list only goes back to 2011. How can I increase the list to include prior years, like 2005, 2006 and so on?

Thanks,
redduke

This is a known limitation that will be fixed in a future release.

The contract dates only go so far back and are based on your local PC clock. To get past dates, you must set your PC clock back to that year and restart NinjaTrader.

After you have set your clock back, you can add this instrument to your default instrument list. Once added, shut down NinjaTrader and set your PC clock to the current date/time settings.

You should then be able to access this old expiry from your default instrument list.
