tomorrow is rollover day

NinjaTrader 'sent' me a pop up with instructions how to make
the changes - and thanks to the op, I'd been wondering

Don't forget that tomorrow is rollover day. U8 become Z8.

Typical mistake that I sometimes make is to change the month on my charting platform and forget the trading platform - big mistake - don't make it!

As an added bonus tomorrow the ER2 on Globex is becoming extinct.

Update your data feeds/etc accordingly for the Z8 contracts.

That is correct. At 9:30AM Eastern time,
the "Z" contract comes in to play, and "U"
begins to fade away.

Not quite, as the ER2U8 contact trades until next Friday.

Traders require an ICE/NYBOT data feed to get the Z8 R2K contracts.

Be careful with the new R2K symbols as TF is the mini (x $100) and TO is the full size (x $500).

Let us all hope the ICE platform keeps from crashing.

Don't forget - contract rollover is NOW!

Tomorrow (Thursday) is rollover. H0 becomes M0.

Rollover tomorrow on the index futures. Don't forget to change from M to U on both charts and trading platforms.

That's right. Thanks for the reminder. My head has been up my ass lately. Appreciate the wake up call.
