Hi, I'm trying to understand how to use the Advanced Chart feature of Continuation Chart - Rollover Each Year Same Month. I tried selecting it, but it seemed to not do anything to the chart. Are there some additional steps that need to be taken to use this? Where would one specify the month to use? Can this option be used for historical data that we import ourselves?

No additional steps, and the particular contract month which is used in the chart, is the same as the symbol of the chart. There is no support for this: Can this option be used for historical data that we import ourselves? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

1. Hi, as I mentioned, I select to use the continuation chart with "Rollover Each Year Same Month" option selected, but the chart does not change at all. What do I need to do to get the chart to actually become a continuation chart? 2. You mention that our own historical data would not be supported for this. How far back does Sierra Chart historical futures data go? There is some general way to import historical data yes? (From sources including BarChart and Trading Economics in this case).
