Rollover, Charting, and Automated

[kjkraus]

My problems started with the rollover of YM to 12-07.
I've re-installed NT also.

I use MB Trading, and have used automated strategies for the last month.

I can connect to MB trading fine, MB Nav window gives me time & sales, and LVL2 data for YM.

I cannot chart YM 12-07 (no inflow of tick data) nor does my strategy re-act when set to YM 12-07.

Did I somehow corrupt the Master Instrument YM, I checked all the settings... but perhaps that's it?

Re-install did not change my instrument lists to default (1st download). I was hoping to go back to beginning and rollover to 12-07 contract again.

Any ideas?

Are you on an MBT demo account? If so, then your demo account still is on the Sep contracts and does not yet support the Dec contracts. Please contact MBT on when they roll their contracts on the demo account.

[kjkraus]

No, this is not a demo account.
I can get the YM 12-07 quote and time & sales fine when manually type /YMZ7 in the MB Nav window.

Is there a way to re-install and have the default instruments that come with NT? I'm convinced I screwed up something in EDIT or Rollover with Instrument Manager.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please try this:
- terminate NT
- copy <program files>/NinjaTrader6/db/Instrument.txt to <my documents>/NinjaTrader6/db/Instrument.txt
- restart NT

All instrument settings are restored to default. Instruments added manually are maintained.

[kjkraus]

Ok. I did that. That did give me the default settings, so I know the Instruments are correct.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I cannot get any default instrument for 12-07 to chart.
I'm using 1 min candlesticks, just like last month.

Off to work, be back after 5pm EST.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I'll spend tonight checking my chart settings.
Perhaps I've changed something accidentally.

Hi kjkraus:

Thank you for posting.

We would like to further investigate your charting inquiry if you continue to have problems this evening.

If it is not inconvenient to you, could you please send me a note to support @ ninjatrader dot com and reference this post.

I may need to request your log files and other pc/account specific information that you may not wish to post in a public forum.

Best regards,

[kjkraus]

Perhaps you all have fixed some bugs today.. if so, then well done.
This evening I could initially get only Globex instrument quotes/charts/ticks. YM (my main trading vehicle) still would not show any ticks on chart. So I was convinced it was a ECbot problem, but at least I could get ES and NQs... I couldn't this morning/last night.
I read some other posts/advice, so I Repaired DB, and rebooted computer.

That fixed it.
Thanks for all your help and fast replies.
When in doubt, Repair Database and Reboot I guess.

Thanks again,
K-
