Context: - I had the "[Volume] Symbol needs Rollver. Click to Rollover." yellow color warning - Clicked it and prices went from around 25k++ to 25.5k++ and symbol was translated from NQZ25_FUT_CME to NQH26_FUT_CME Problem: - Clearly the odd jump in prices (TradingView was still trading at 25k++) What I did to fix (please do see this as I often get suggestions that I already tried): 1. Tried Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Basic Steps to Correct Invalid Back Adjust Amount for Most Recent Transition to New Contract Month 2. Tried Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Incorrect Rollover Date 2.1. This also had Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Re-Downloading Continuous Futures Contract Data 2.2. I'm also not sure what this means When you have changed the symbol of the chart to the next or other forward futures contract month but that is not the active a month based upon trading volume and you are using a volume-based rollover Continuous Contract setting, then the chart will rollover according to the Date based rule instead in this circumstance. This can make it look like the rollover, is not correct based on volume. but I changed backed my contracts from NQH26_FUT_CME which it changed to after I rolled over back to NQZ25_FUT_CMEProblem after I changed back symbols: - All my rectangles and extended rectangles I had on my charts/ volume profiles/ market profiles are gone Qn: - What to do now to recover my rectangles? - What caused this issue? - How to fix it? - How to not repeat it. Please help, this is quite urgent Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-15 16:05:41

With regards to the drawings, when you select to rollover, there is an option for "Also Rollover Chart Drawing Symbols". It sounds like you did not have this enabled, therefore the drawings are associated with the previous contract. To resolve this select "Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings". Select all the drawings in that window and then select the "Edit Symbol" button. Enter the current symbol for that chart. We are not sure what other issue you are having. A difference in price between contracts is normal. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi John, I have translated back to my old symbol NQZ25_FUT_CME from the new NQH26_FUT_CME so I will do the "Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings >> Edit Symbol" technique you mentioned, thank you. Howver, the difference in price is by 400-500$ (NoteL I use Continuous Futures Contract - Volume based Rollover). I have attached my Chartbook. Qn: - Is this price difference expected, trading view is still at 25000ish but I am 25348 as of 16:55 EST if I use the new NQH26_FUT_CME? - Am I using the most appropriate Rollover or should I use Date Rollover? I use footprint charts/volume profile/market profile regulary and volume is super important Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-12-15 22:51:45

Athis time (17:00 Central US Time) the NQ H 2025 contract is trading at 25358.00, whereas the NQ Z 2025 contract is trading at 25113.00. So a 250 point difference is correct at this time. If you are not seeing the prices at about these levels for this time, then let us know. There are two different options with regards to rollover. There is the choice on when to actually rollover and whether this is based on Date or on Volume. The control for this is the following: General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol) Then, there is how the back-adjustment of a Continuous Futures Contract should be handled. This is done through this setting: Chart Settings: Continuous Contract (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu) Although there is some relationship at the actual time of rollover, these really control different things. And the choice of which one to use for each of them is up to you. It just depends on what you want and are comfortable with.
