Is there way using ACSIL to determine which contract symbol/month (CLK vs CLM) was in effect on a particular bar on a intraday chart (continuous contract with volume based rollover).

I'm doing some calculations over a number of days and want to know if the OHLC values used were all from 1 symbol/month or that a rollover happened during that period.

Thank you.

No, this is not possible to know.

We will see if it is not difficult to add a function to get the symbol, for a specific bar in the chart.

That would be very useful if you can do it.
