Auto rollover, and Rolling Over Watch Lists

I disabled automatic rollover, because if charts are opened during the evening session, it often rolls early before true day session volume rolls. Any fix for this?

So I'm rolling manually, but it's a pain to to update each symbol in each watch list manually. Any way to rollover entire watch lists together automatically, AFTER a manual rollover of the chart itself?

In no case does a symbol on a Quote Board or on a chart, rollover automatically without reopening the Quote Board or reloading the chart. This simply just does not happen. And never has anyone ever reported anything like this. We have verified this just does not happen.

On a quote for you can use the command Settings >> Rollover Futures Symbols Now.

Or apparently you are referring to the Associated Watch List? There is no way to rollover those symbols.

1. First issue, yes referring to a new restart of SC, during the evening, if charts are set to automatic rollover, in the evening/overnight sessions, while volumes are low, the next month often passes the front month in volume temporarily, and auto rollover occurs prematurely (but correctly based on volume at that time in the overnight). Once day session begins and volume picks up, the front month volume takes back over, so the auto roll becomes premature.

2. Second issue, yes referring to Associated Watch Lists. I use multiple Watch Lists, for multiple charts, over multiple chart books, which you can imagine is very tedious to update each of all these manually. It would be a great improvement and time saver to be able to select multiple symbols together to roll them over or do automatically for Watch Lists. Or at least auto update the Watch Lists, once the charts themselves have been manually rolled, so the using the watch lists doesn't make one roll backwards again.

1. We really do not recommend using the automatically rollover futures symbol option.

I agree, due to these issues, that is why #2 is needed.

Any update on possibility to:

1. Select multiple symbols in watch lists to roll together

2. Auto update the Watch Lists symbols, once the charts themselves have been manually rolled, so clicking on the symbols in the watch lists doesn't make one roll backwards again
