And from another contract fesx 12-21 and 09-21 the lines that I drawed are 1-2 points shifted away but yesterday the lines where they should be I dont know why but with this I cant work... Can you tell me what happended ?

Hello preaid,

This is likely due to the 'Merge policy' setting which is set to 'Merge back adjusted' by default. This means all historical data from previous expiry months loaded in the chart is adjusted by an offset value. The offset value is the price difference during rollover, so there is no gap at rollover in the chart. Please see the link below for more information.

Can you please go to Control Center-->Tools-->Instruments. Double click the FESX and set 'Merge policy' to 'Merge non back adjusted'. Click OK-->Close. Reload historical data in your charts or create new charts and check if data is loaded as expected.


It can be as expected that data is different after reloading historical data in a chart. You receive the chart data in realtime initially. If the same data is then loaded as historical data, it can cause differences. Please see the following link that explains why.
