Soybean meal chart not plotting as expected

[bassam]

Hi,

I'm using "16th" most recent version of NT 7, with " historical data enabled " Interactive Broker live account TWS "most recent version".

Trying to plot "ZM DEC 13" using Period Type of 1 Day, 365 Days to load , but it gives an error: " Error on loading chard data for 'ZM 11-13 Globex': unable to load historical data: unknown instrument.

After resetting Instruments ,Database and re-adding ZM instrument, it still gives an error: " Error on loading chard data for 'ZM 11-13 Globex': IB-Historical: error in requesting data from IB : no security definition has been found for the request (200)"

In NT instrument manager, ZM is linked to "ZM|ECBOT" symbol with IB.
Within TWS the chart of "ZM DEC 13@ECBOT" is plotting just fine up to one year worth of data.

P.s. :
- Changing the "Days to Load" to maximum of 30 days works just fine
- I made sure that ZM DEC 13 is the instrument
- All other instruments plot fine

Please advice

Solved. It is an error in NT contract month date .
Go to Instrument Manager --> Edit --> Misc ---> Contract Months ---> click the (...) button , in Contract Months window click on 11-13 and correct the Contract month to 12-13 to solve the issue ( if 12-13 already exists just remove 11-13 to solve the issue)
