Hi I have a question regarding the rollover function. I am charting the e-mini (ES) and have set advanced chart settings to "continuous futures contract - date rule, back adjusted". I understand that the e-mini rollover date is 15th March for March 2019 contract. However my sierra chart is now charting the June contract - I don't understand why it has automatically changed the contract ahead of time. I have also tried changing the setting to volume based rollover but it doesn't make any difference (even though there is only a 1/4 of March's volume in June at present) - please advise. How can I get it to remain on the March contract until rollover date or when I request that it changes contract? thanks John

Disable this option in Chart Settings:
Chart Settings: Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

After that change the symbol back to the March contract. Refer to:
