1. Because that is not the correct value according to the method Sierra Chart is using which is a solid and reliable method. We have added this to the documentation:
The closing/settlement prices cannot be used because those are calculated by the exchanges using certain algorithms and will not produce correct price differences between one futures contract to the next. The open prices are the only accurate method of doing this.

Almost certainly this is the reason. You have to keep making the adjustment as explained.
