Why does Ninja Trader not show proper CL contract data?

Hey everyone,

So I'm trading CL. Essentially, what NT8 should show is that the current contract (June 2018) should not be traded that much during 2015. For instance, Barchart.com shows that this contract was barely being traded with good volume in 2015 as you can see in the screenshot below.



On the other hand, NT8 shows that during the same period of time, the June 2018 contract was still being traded with 100,000+ volume which is not correct.



For some reason, this is also the case on Thinkorswim as well as shown below.



The ideal chart would be for the CL June 2018 contract to show the proper contract data from Barchart.com

Thank you so much, and I appreciate all your help.

Cheers,

PB

Is there any way to not have continuous contract data?

Okay I figured it out.

Thanks Wldman for your guidance!

You have to go to Tools > Options > Market Data > Global Merge Policy > Do Not Merge

Hope that helps anyone else.
