You mention a "Forward Curve". Are you actually using the Forward Curve study?

Are you looking at the data in daily files themselves? If so, then the current day data will not be present in the file. The Daily Data updates at the end of the day. Specifically, it is done according to the time set in the following setting:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Historical Daily Data Download Time (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Historical Daily Data)

But, you can not set that time to something earlier than when the exchange itself makes that data available - which again is typically after the close of the trading day.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
