<For the current contract being charged in the chart ... yep ... already known >If you are doing it manually, then you control the rollover. this is unclear. i control the switching day in the chart ... but it doesn't mean that the chart will display the new contract starting the date the switch between contracts has been implemented in the charts. this is exactly what i asked. how does SC behaves in case of manual rollover. when will it start displaying the new contract. after all the software logic can start it any other day before the manual switching date i think there should be an explicit mechanism thru which the SC user will define when start displaying the new contract. more may be it should be considered to add a tool tip or information piece at the caption which relates the current contract in case the chart is rolled back to a date where the old contract prices are displayed. >For historical contracts loaded into the chart when using the Continuous Futures Contract feature, this is based on volume. this is unclear. I thought that each contract is displayed between the predecessor expiration date to the own expiration date ... appreciate if can clarify what you have wrote >When it comes to the rollover, you need to do it manually to ensure ... i absolutely agree w/ your attitude. Pls advise about open issues above. tnx
