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.

We will see if it is not difficult to add a function to get the symbol, for a specific bar in the chart. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but I wonder if you would consider adding a similar function to get the back adjustment amount?
