Hello,

I've been on Denali data feeds for a while now and noticed today my GC feed isnt live or moving at all. Its all kind of just frozen.

When looking at the time remaining (TR) on the chart- its like -43m

Im usually connected to Rithmic, so I tried changing between TT and SC DATA and even after converting the symbol, its still the same issue.

Im getting no error in the message log either which is strange

All my other data feeds are working fine aswell

I've tried:
- Deleting data and redownloading (no success)
- Update global symbol setting (no success)

Update: I found it was due to the continous contract option. When I set it to none, no problem. But when its set to 'volume based - back adjusted it' it reverts back to a the previous day, frozen.

I've updated and tried to update symbol settings again aswell.

Below is a screenshot:

The current price is different from where the price line is and at the top youll notice the TR is going into negative.

Should be noted that the chart functions fine when the continuous contract setting is set to none. I currently have it set to volume based rollover, back adjusted

Cheers

For some reason the Symbol Settings for GC are missing the V contract for the rollover contracts. We will look into this, but in the meantime, do the following:
- Select "Global Settings >> Symbol Settings"
- Find the symbol in the list on the left for GC?#.COMEX and select it in that pane
- On the right top, scroll down through the list of symbol settings for that symbol and find the entry for "Continuous Contract Months". Select this item by clicking on it.
- Just below the settings will now show options to make changes. In the box for "Custom", select the V contract to add it to the list.
- Make sure the option for "Use Custom Symbol Settings Values" in the upper left corner is enabled (has a checkmark).
- Select OK to close the window.
- Go to the chart that has the issue and select "Chart >> Reload and Recalculate

That should take care of it for you.

For GC futures the V contract is deliberately not included for continuous futures contract charts. This will not change. Although this should not affect chart updating. But nevertheless, you should be using the December (Z) contract.
