CL Charts Not Updating

[Skinchin]

My CL tick chart and time chart are not updating.
Everytime I reload them the current price shows as the first stick of the session and does not show me the data from the rest of the session.
Have tried loading new charts but no luck so far!

Hello Skinchin,

Thanks for your post.

To chart the CL you will need to use the 01-13 contract and adjust the rollover date.
The CL 01-13 expiry is setup by default to rollover on 11/21/2012. Please go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instrument Manager. Highlight the CL in the 'Available master instruments' section and click Edit.

Subsequently select the Misc-tab and scroll to the bottom. Select the 'Contract months' row and click the '...' button that appears.

Select the 01-13 expiry month and you will see the rollover date listed. Historical data before this date is loaded from the 12-12 expiry and so on.

This means that if you currently create a CL 01-13 chart, it will receive real-time data from the 01-13 expiry, but historical data is loaded from the 12-12 expiry. Because there is a difference in price between these two expires you see incorrectly merged data that normally produces a gap or a single large bar on load.

You can change the rollover date for the 01-13 contract to yesterday (November 15th) to allow NinjaTrader to merge these contracts correctly. Once this is changed you will need to reload historical data in your charts to apply the change via a right click -> reload historical data.

This date will be corrected in future release of the platform.
