system rollover date wrong?

I set my rollover date to always be the Friday before expiration in symbol settings, i.e. "7 calendar days before the 3rd Friday of the contract month". For /NQU23, for example, that would be Sept. 8th (today).

Please see attached, this is what I see in symbol settings now.

Is this correct? If not, could you please tell me what went wrong?

Thanks!

The setting is "Number of Calendar Days from the 3rd Friday". 7 calendar days back from a Friday is a Saturday. You need to change this to 8 to get the previous Friday.

Hi John, thanks!

Please see attached.

For NQU23, the calculated rollover date is Saturday, September 9th, 2023, which is wrong (7 calendar days before Sept. 15th is Sept. 8th, not the 9th).
For NQU24, the calculated rollover date is Friday, September 13th, 2024, which is right (7 calendars days before Sept. 20th is Sept. 13th, is correct).
I have also used this setting for three past rollovers, and it never before calculated a Saturday as seven calendar days before a Friday.

Given the above, it seems like something has to be wrong with the rollover dates for NQU23, right?

Thanks again!

Here are all the contracts listed in symbol settings:

NQU23 - wrong (shows saturday as seven calendar days before friday)
NQZ23 - wrong "
NQH24 - wrong "
NQU24 - right (shows friday as seven calendar days before friday)
NQZ24 - right "

I attached screenshots from NQH24, NQU24 and NQZ24 for more proof.

Thanks!
