Despite Chart settings having - Automatic Rollover checked and Continuous Contract set as Date Rule Rollover, Back Adjusted - the futures did not roll automatically - any reason why?

Yes, one thing I can observe is that the application was not closed down overnight. Is that what it was? If so, at what time does it roll if the TimeZone = New York?

There will not be an automatic rollover. It is only when a Chartbook is reopened will there be a rollover.

You need to do it manually. The documentation does explain this for those options mentioned.

Follow the instructions here to roll over the symbol:

Guys -

When I closed and opened the application last time to have the application perform automatic rollover - it changed all the start and end times too for all the intra day charts it performed automatic roll over - any reason if this is normal?

Is there a way - where you do not let the system change start/end times while still perform automatic rollover?
