in the download section we already have some educational/indicator material from @Fat Tails and @monpere:

Hi Silvestor,

Do you know if there is an update to the above rollover indicator? I have found this to be very helpful but now it does not seem to work anymore.
Thanks.

Thanks for that. Its just that Im getting the following message across the top of the chart next to the rollover button:

"Next Rollover:GC NaN/ No More Expiries Left in Database."

This is only appearing on GC. The rest of them are going fine. Have you ever got this?

Its also putting a message in the NT Log tab: Rollover Indicator: "You must define future expiries for your contracts..."

@Bosch777,

working here also:



what you can do is an instrument reset.

- go to tools > options > data > reset instrument.

@Silvester17,

I tried the Rollover Indications, it works perfect. However, seems like the dates are hard coded and it would only print to the end of 2014, there is no provisions for years past 2014. How the rollovers past 2014 are handled (I have not looked at the code yet)?

A couple of questions: Can the code be modified to print calendar events such as 5:30 of first Fridays of the month into future or print events based on a formula like the MoonPhase, or other fixed calendar events like holidays, EIA report, etc.?

I tried the Market Reminder and MoonPhase indicators piggybacked on your indicator but they would not print in the future. Can your script or logic be applied to these kinds of indicators?

Much thanks.

Cheers!

thanks @aligator,

but this is far from being my script. only made some minor changes. I brought that indicator over from the ninja support forum. thought it's a good idea and that some will find it useful.

sorry to tell you that I'm not able to answer your questions. you need to ask someone a lot smarter like @Fat Tails.

but I can recommend some other excellent tools like volume ladder or vwap

Cheers!

Hi Silvester,
