Hey

prior to today been using 1440m charts with cont contract chart set to none.

I would like to look further back on 1440m chart action as well as weekly, monthly etc so decided to experiment with cont contract settings.

I have read what is listed on sierra site regarding these but feel that i am missing something.

I want the historical intra price action and have tried all four setttings, but i don't know which one shows the true price.

What i want to know is which chart is showing correct pricing with no adjustments - i.e. back adjusting.

As you can see from pics supplied, when set to none, I have marked a lower low followed by higher low. I am assuming his is the actual price action.

The other 2 charts show lower low followed by lower low.

thanks

ok - so made the change as suggested and this was the result.

are you saying that this should be correct? obviously still differing from "none" setting chart.

thanks

You need to understand what futures contract month you are looking at. Refer to:

It is correct. It certainly will be different when not using a Continuous Futures Contract.
