Do you trade the CL using NinjaTrader? Is your data all messed up?
You will need to apply this correction for the contract rollover date as advised by NinjaTrader’s Patrick:

Please go to the NinjaTrader Control Center > Tools > Instrument Manager > search for the CL > double click on the CL > go to the Misc tab of the Instrument Editor > scroll down to the Contract Months > left click on the Contract Months and then the ‘…’ button > go to the 01-13 expiry in the Contract Months window > change the Rollover Date to November 15, 2012 > OK > OK > OK.
