Hi,

I'm trying to chart some custom futures, e.g. GC.P with all avaiable contract months included, no backadjustment,
rollover at zero days before 1st notice, based on the nearest contract. Daily data.

There appear huge data gaps several days or weeks of data are missing.
It becomes even worse with different settings and silver instead of Gold.

Has anybody faced the same problems and knows a way to get arround that?
It would be sort of astonishing if such a "simple" functionality wouldn't work properly...
Thanks in advance for your help!

You've posted in the TradeStation forum but you list your platform as NinjaTrader. Can you confirm you are using TS and TS data feed?

This question is indeed focused on TS.

I haven't used TS for a while but you must do a backfill to get rid off gaps. Take a look at the manual or send them an email abou this.
