Contract expiry

[Treggs]

Any chance we could get a "Contract Expiry Date" column in the market analyzer? Obviously the idea would be to show the date and end of trading time for the given contract.

A simple but very handy bit of info instead of having to check exchange websites regularly for the weird contracts.

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion Treggs - in NT7 you can just check in the Instrument Manager when the new contract would be taken as front month as this is defined via our automatic rollover handling for all futures contracts (however consulting exchange pages may still be needed depending on how you trade and on how long you would like to hold the contracts close to expiry).

Hi Guys, Just wondering if contract expiry dates are any closer to being included in the market analyzer? Ta.

Hello Treggs,

We have noted your suggestion. Unfortunately we cannot estimate when various features will be added at this time. However, once the production release of NinjaTrader 7 is available, more features will be added.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi there,
Is there any update on this potential feature? Alternatively, is there a way of updating expired contracts in both Instrument Manager and Market Analyser instead of removing each expired contract and adding the current contract manually?

Thanks

Hello futures_trader,

Unfortunately I do not have any update on this feature.

This has been improved in NinjaTrader 8. The roll over process is automated. Please see the link below.
