Or shall we use one of the indicators proposed above? Which one is the most up-to-date?

Hi,
For information (since problem solved)...
I had the same problem when using ET Z1-DT from eSignal data feed.
Apparently, it was due to the fact that the contract rolled over.
Problem was solved by using ET Z2011-DT (manual import) instead.
