S&P 500 mini future data

[cniesa71]

Dear NT support,

I searched S&P 500 mini future in the "instrument lookup" window, I can find it,but nothing happens after I double-cick on it.
It works fine for stocks and ETFs, for example IBM, XLF, etc.

Is this becuase this data is not for free?
Thank you for your time?

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please tell me what data provider you are connected to within NinjaTrader so I may further assist.

Dear ChristopherJ,

I'm using Kinetick - End of Day (free).
Here is what I did:

File | New | Chart ...
In the "Data Series" window, there is something called "Default", I expanded it the "+" sign, I can see "ES 09-13" is inside, but it is a very old one.
Hence, I went to search it, in "Instrument Lookup" window, I can find the following:
"ES, Future, E-mini S&P 500, 0.25, 50", but nothing happens after I double click on it.

Please follow the instructions below to rollover the expiration date of a futures contracts.

• From within the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools> Instrument Manager
• Highlight the contract you wish to rollover in the left side of the Instrument Manager window
• Press the '>' button (the instrument will disappear from the list)
• Press the '<' button and the instrument should re-appear with the front month expiration date
• Select 'OK'
• Select the updated contract in the Instrument drop down menu of you open windows.

Please let me know if you then receive data successfully when selecting the current contract ES 12-15.

I have also provided a link below to our Help Guide that goes over Adding/Removing Instruments.
