Hi, Are the symbols for continuous futures, eg. ES#, CL#, back adjusted? What method is used for back adjusting? |

No, these are not back adjusted. Use the Continuous Futures Contract feature which supports back adjustment: Continuous Futures Contract Charts Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I have troubles creating a continuous contract for the symbol SVU15 (MSCI Singapore Index Futures). Since no rollover settings are specified in the global symbol settings I have specified the following: Rollover rule: Number of Business Days Before Business Calendar Day Before Contract Month Number Business Days: 1 Business Calendar Day before contract month: 1 Continuous Contract Month: HJKMUZ Obviously, I must be doing something wrong because I don`t get a continuous chart with these settings. |

This will be set up and tested.

Continuous Futures Contract support for this symbol is now done but requires an update. Update Sierra Chart by selecting Help >> Download Prerelease. This required a new rollover method.

Thank you. I`ve come across several symbols for which no rollover method is specified in the global symbol settings. While I can specify them myself, it would probably be better if you set them on the server side? Symbols include: NOM15 NHM15 HSM15 HNM15 EFM15 EXM15 These are some of the more important Asian and European Index Futures. Please let me know if you can update the symbol settings on your side or if I have to do it locally. |

Letting you know we are gradually working on symbol settings for these. Should be done no later than tomorrow.

The symbol settings for these have been corrected and updated and now support Continuous Futures Contract charts.

Thank you, all the symbols work now, except HS and NH - do you get continuous charts working for these 2 symbols?

We apologize. We forgot to mention that a newer Sierra Chart version is required. This will be out this evening.
