This question may seem stupid, nevertheless: Does the rollover Feature apply to both "Symbol" AND "Trade and Current Quote Symbol"?

Imagine you use the emini as symbol but the trade and quote symbol (with checkmark "use as trade only symbol") is the micro emini.

When the rollover occurs, any symbol entered in the Trade and Current Quote Symbol is removed (blanked). So you would need to manually enter the symbol you want to use for that field associated with the updated Chart symbol.

We will add support to automatically rollover the Trade and Current Quote Symbol as well if it is a recognized futures symbol.

Greetings,

is there anything wrong with the automatic rollover of the "Trade and Current Quote Symbol"?
For me it doesnt roll over. Instead the field becomes blank when the "Symbol" rolls over. I tested it.
I dont know about a specific setting to enable/disable this feature besides the one on the chart setting's maintab
which seems to be for the "symbol" rollover alone.

I didnt notice that and accidentally traded the normal emini contract.
In this specific case it could have gone horribly wrong, with me noticing it hours later.

There are certain conditions where the Trade and Current Quote Symbol could be cleared, but this has been resolved in the latest version of Sierra Chart.
