I am a newbie trader. I am using Ninja Trader version 7.0.10 I just tried to rollover CL futures 07/13 to 08/13, but getting a blank screen. To test I tried the same for GC from 8/13 to 9/13 it worked fine. The issue seem to be only for the CL futures.

I tried the solution CL 01-13 Roll Over Date - [AUTOLINK]NinjaTrader[/AUTOLINK] Support Forumstill the same problem.

Any help would be appreciated

I do not have the fix, but this will not take more than a minute when the right person sees it.

If I go >tools>instrument mgr>find CL>exchange NYMEX>08-13>OK it adds the front month CL no problem.

I added the front month. The problem seems to only with CL futures. Last week I rolled over the ES futures. I had no problems

Who is your broker? What is the symbol map for CL for your broker? Which rollover date did you select?

My broker is AMP. Brokers symbol map for CL? I am sorry I am not sure what to look for. Is it the contract Description? The contract description is LS CRUDE OIL. I chose yesterdays date (18/06/2013) for the rollover.

I am glad that your problem is solved.

A note on symbol maps. The brokers use different symbols for instruments. You can see the symbol map, when you edit the instrument via the Instrument Manager and select the "Misc" tab, just above where you can select your contract month. I had just asked this question, because some brokers require a special symbol mapping for CL, as the expiry date does not fall within the expiry month. This is not the case for "Amp/Zenfire", so you may disregard my question.
