I've recently switched over to Arch Linux from Windows and have been using Sierra Chart via Wine. Everything has gone very smoothly so far, except I noticed a strange issue when attempting to do some chartbook cleanup/re-organization. The daily chart for MNQ (using a continuous volume contract) shows a different price value than the equivalent charts using either a 10,000 Volume chart or 100,000 Volume chart. I'm attaching a screenshot that illustrates this. I noticed this behavior because of what looked like copied chart drawings showing up in the wrong spot. After some tinkering and trying to 'redo' the drawings, I realized that they were 'accurate' according to the displayed data on each chart and that the price differences between charts was what was actually causing the offset. Is there a reason this might be happening that I'm causing? I haven't seen/noticed this behavior before. |

Look very carefully at your charts, one is U contract, the other is Z. |

I did notice that and actually try to change it, but when attempting to do "Change Chart Symbol" on that chart to "MNQU26_FUT_CME" to match, nothing happened. I assumed that was a quirk of the "Continuous Futures Contract - Volume Based Rollover" behavior, but I could be wrong. If that is indeed supposed to be able to switch back to "MNQU..." then I might have a different issue than I originally thought.
