I have been trading the S&P futures MES using Sierra for many years.
Today when I open end my Sierra Charts ALL of my drawings dissipated!!!!
Is this a result of Contract Rolling ??
How do I recover and set the charts for Continuous Contract so this does not occur again?
Thanks

Go to the chart where you expect to see these Chart Drawings and open the Manage Chart Drawings Window:
Chart Drawing Tools: Manage Chart Drawings

And see if you see the drawings there. Let us know.

Select "Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings" and tell us if there are drawings listed in that window or if it is blank.

Chances are that you did not rollover the drawings when you rolled over the chart. And there is an option to not display drawings for a different symbol. The easiest solution, if this is the case, is to select "Chart >> Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol" with that particular chart active. Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol (Chart menu)

But, there are other items that could cause what you are seeing, hence the reason we were asking if you had drawings listed in the Manage Chart Drawings window.
