Dear support, I have live connection to BitMEX, I have normal XBT?## continuous futures contract normal. But according to ADA?## contracts I have problem - no continuous contract. I may open separately ADAZ18 contract and ADAH19 contract, but if I select continuous type of contract like I used it for XBT?## - no result. What I have to do to get normal ADA?## continuous contract? Thanks, Alex.

At this point in time there are no rollover rules set up for BitMex futures symbols. Approximately what time in the month does a BitMex futures contract rollover to the next one?

you may see contracts specifications for ADA for example:

XBTH19 - Expiry Date Mar 29, 2019, 2:00:00 PM ( https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/XBTH19 )
ADAH19 - Expiry Date Mar 29, 2019, 2:00:00 PM ( https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/ADAH19 )

XBTZ18 contract data is available in reality, but no specification on BitMEX web-site
ADAZ18 contract data is available in reality, but no specification on BitMEX web-site

if I select continuous contract option for XBT - everything is ok - it is really merged 6 months chart
if I select continuous contract option for ADA - I see only 3 months contract depend of used name of contract in chart settings

I manually set same rollover and other settings for ADA?## contracts like it is for XBT?## contracts, but ADA still has no continuous contract.

Bitmex had big problems with orders. I was getting rejections of orders almost every time. There was any improvement on it?

We set up the contract rollover rules for XBT and ADA for BitMex.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:

Thanks!

Could you set up also rollover rules for the rest of BitMEX futures? We are trading now XRP and I even can not see trades results because XRP has sc.TickSize = 0.00000001 (screenshot of Trades Activity Log is attached). We also need to trade the rest of tickers and we ask you to update all BitMEX tickers with actual setting for correct rollover. Waiting for your update asap.

Thanks, Alex.

This is definitively something that we cannot spend any time on now. You will need to add the Symbol Settings yourself for what you need. Refer to the documentation here for this:
