Hi Team,

When I have my connection set to SC Historical Data, the futures charts back-fill/continue perfectly as per rollover rules, however, when I set the connection to SC Forex Data, the futures charts only have the specified contract (no back-fill/rollover). I am using the latest version available (1282).

In the message log the following items can be seen:
D6U15 [CBV] Daily #12: Symbol Settings not found for symbol. Unable to build continuous futures contract chart. | 2015-08-26 05:52:27
D6U15 [CBV] Daily #12: There are no continuous futures contract symbols. Loading data normally. | 2015-08-26 05:52:27
D6U15 [CBV] Daily #13: Symbol Settings not found for symbol. Unable to build continuous futures contract chart. | 2015-08-26 05:52:27
D6U15 [CBV] Daily #13: There are no continuous futures contract symbols. Loading data normally. | 2015-08-26 05:52:27

I believed rollover worked properly when I was connected to SC Forex Data in an earlier version of SC, if that helps.

Thankyou.

The only possible solution to this is to install another copy of Sierra Chart on your system and set it to use the SC Historical Data Service. Here are instructions:
Using Multiple Data and Trading Services at the Same Time

Yes it is possible that in previous versions, the Continuous Contracts did work, but it will not in newer versions. This most definitely will not change because the way that it worked before was unreliable even if you did not notice a problem.
