Ok I got it to download and I used auto rollover to yes and continuious contract-- volume based no back adjust. I'm not seeing the gaps. I have the show rollover checked on chart setting.

Thanks

Are you just making a statement, or are you asking why you are not seeing gaps at the rollover times?

Please tell us exactly the option you have selected for the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Continuous Contract".

And please get us an image showing the data at the transition between two contracts with the option for "Chart >> Show Rollover Dates" enabled, so we can see where the rollover is set for your chart. Follow these instructions to get us an image:

It is not as obvious in a Daily chart, but it is there. You also have to take into consideration that the daily data uses a Settlement Price for the daily data.

For instance, at the transistion from the H to the M contract, the H contract shows the following:
Daily data for March 13, 2026 (H contract) Last Price: 24394.25
Intraday data for March 13, 2026 (H contract) Last Pricee: 24335.25
