Market replay with old expired contract in future SP500

[ubaldisney]

Hello
I having troubles to import expired contract in future mini SP500.
This are the step i follow.
1.Try to download for example ES 03-18 for 03/08/2018


2.Connect to market replay

3.And when i want to select from date i have not date for the month that i had downloaded in step 1, neither in Market replay or Historical




But when i go to see my historical Data i can see there...



Which could be my problem?
The only strange thing i see is this:



But i don´t know how to set the expiry, because i haven´t the correct date.


Thank you so much for your help.

Type in the date es 03-18.

Try restarting nt8 to see the replay data.

Verify it is in the My documents/ dB/ replay folder if I remember correctly.

Hello ubaldisney,

Thank you for your post. Selecting a chart > typing "ES 03-18" > Pressing Enter would be the best method to be able to select the contract from any instrument drop-down.


No playback data downloaded for this date and contract is expected, in general playback data is available about 90-days back for commonly-traded futures and Forex pairs.

Let us know if we may assist further.

Thank for your reply.
So is imposible to display a chart with expired contract with NT8?
For instance, in January 2019 will be imposible to display the chart for ES 09-18?


Im reading about this post and i think i have the same issues.
