I am using an external data feed from Tradestation. I am also running these trades to Collective2 using their platform transmit script, so I want to make sure I get the right symbol.

Setting Futures Contract Rollover
Can I set when futures contracts rollover. For instance, Lean Hogs is on December, but I think it should still be on October. How do I force the contract to trade on the month I want it to.

Hello Atomic,
Thank you for your post.
Futures contracts do not automatically roll over. Unfortunately, there is no setting in the platform to automatically force a roll over of a contract. You may receive a notification from the platform suggesting to rollover a few days before the expiry of a contract - but you can choose to rollover whenever you like.
You can follow steps to roll over the expiration date of a Futures contract:- Navigate to the Control Center > Tools > Database window.
- Left-click the ‘Rollover’ button that appears just below the table under the ‘Rollover futures instruments’ section.
- Close this window when this process completes.
To view contract rollover, expiry dates, and other trading events click the link here .
Please let us know if we may be of further assistance. Thank you for choosing NinjaTrader.

I have tried a number of things to get any HE contract to register data, including mapping a symbol known to be working such as feeder cattle.
Here is what I presently have. As another check, I just added LE (live cattle - not shown), but it works too.
