Hello
After rollover into a new contract, the subscriptions were taken over as well. Due to the interest rate difference there is a deviation in the drawings.
With the tool Manage Drawings you can make an adjustment.
I have tried all but the drawing have not changed.

What is the exact step to adjust the drawings to the new contract?

Thanks

First use this Chart menu command to make sure the Chart Drawings are using the correct symbol:
Chart Menu: Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol (Chart menu)

Here is the updated documentation to adjust the Chart Drawings:

is there an easy way to find out what the adjust amount should be?

i used the values from https://www.barchart.com/futures/indices for the difference between the contracts and they don't match up..

so within sierra itself, is there a way to find out the difference in points between the old contract and new contract?

thank you very much

thank you for your reply

specificically for VX rollover (from VXJ21-CFE to VXK21-CFE), i got the following:

VXK21-CFE [CB] 30 Min #60 | VXJ21-CFE price difference to VXK21-CFE is 3.2. | 2021-04-25 22:28:57.723
VXK21-CFE [CB] 30 Min #60 | Back adjust amount for symbol VXJ21-CFE is 3.2. | 2021-04-25 22:28:57.723

however, the drawings are still off using the value 3.2 adjust amount

any ideas what could have gone wrong?
