Post From: Price Value Mismatch Between Daily and Volume Charts (on Arch Linux)

That is true, but it was intentional in this case. For anyone else finding this thread in the future, the context of my setup is as follows (all MNQ):

Chartbook1:
Chart1 - 10,000 Volume Chart (Main trading chart) - Non-continuous futures contract (front contract only)

Chartbook2:
Chart1 - 100,000 Volume Chart - Continuous futures contract (volume-based rollover)
Chart2 - Daily Chart - Continuous futures contract (volume-based rollover)

Drawings are duplicated from both charts in Chartbook2 to Chartbook1:Chart1. Drawings are also duplicated from Chartbook2:Chart2 to Chartbook2:Chart1. Having multiple chartbooks allows me to maximize screen real estate for my main trading window while still having an easily accessible reference chartbook ready for higher time-frame comparisons. The charts in Chartbook2 are on continuous contracts for visual continuity across contracts while my main trading chart is zoomed in enough that's usually a non-issue (outside of the initial days of the rollover).

Interestingly to your point, John, the two charts in Chartbook2 did not roll over simultaneously despite matching 'volume-based rollover' designations. I'm assuming this is likely just due to the differences between Daily volume tracking and Volume volume tracking. I just hadn't noticed this behavior before and wanted to make sure it wasn't a quirk of my relatively recent switch off of Windows onto Arch.
