[User Discussion] - Quality of Life Features and a Continuous Futures Contract bug?

Hi,

I'm enjoying Sierra Chart so far. There are a lot of settings! But, it's quite performant. I'll be signing up for sure in the near future.

Can you guys please consider a couple of quality of life improvements?

1. Can the Session Indicator as an option or as default behavior, be made to stick to the BOTTOM of the region it's in regardless of the scale/position of whatever is in the region? Currently, Session Indicator seems to stick itself to the lowest trade value that's on the screen which is annoying because if you move the scale around, the Session Indicator can end up in the middle of the screen or anywhere. I would like it to stick to the bottom of the region always.

2. Chart -> Show Rollover Dates is a nice feature, but would it be possible to get the Symbol Display Indicator to show the contract that is being historically referenced (at the last bar on the chart) too? So if I scroll back past a rollover date, the Symbol Display would show ESM21-CME instead of ESU21-CME (for example). Or keep ESU21-CME as the main display but have a sub-text area that shows the actually contract being shown. There are multiple ways to do this. I'm sure you get what I'm looking for. Maybe the time/date bar at the bottom could show the contract symbol where it shows the date. (I like the way the date stays on the left when you're zoomed in too far to see it naturally by the way.)

And this might be a bug?

When using "Continuous Futures Contract - Date Rule Rollover," the rollover dates don't respect the General Settings -> General 4 -> Additional Days to Add to Rollover Date... Perhaps that is not the intention of that value to impact historical rollovers, but I would like my historical rollovers on ES to happen on Friday not Thursday to match when it switches going forward. (I prefer not to use volume rollover)

Thanks!
