Hi, I have followed the steps for getting the back adjusted data but it isn't working (Chart Settings>Advanced Settings>Volume Based Rollover Back Adjusted). All the charts in my chartbook read [CBC][M]

Symbol Settings shows Rollover Method as Default (8 Calendar Days etc.)

Thanks for your help :)

We need to know exactly the specific issue you are seeing and how you are determining that.

The first step is to re-download the historical daily data files for all contract months for the chart:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Re-Downloading Continuous Futures Contract Data

There is an option for this on the selection window for the individual contract months.

And then also refer to:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Controlling Rollover Amount for Back Adjustments

Thank you, this is in fact a sub instance. I noticed in the literature that may affect things? Do I need to perform the proper rollover adjustments in the original instance of SC in order for this to work properly? The issue as I see it is that in ES the recent all time high is about 3579 on 9/01 and 9/02 when it should be 3587.

Thanks

It depends upon how this setting is set:
Global Symbol Settings: Use These Symbol Settings in New Instances When Started (Global Settings >> Symbol Settings)

The reason for this is because you are back adjusting the data:

Do not use one of the back adjusted continuous futures contract options. You must not use that if you want to see the true prices.
