I've been using Sierra Charts successfully for months with no issues. Just lost my entire mornings work. Sierra charts chartbook closed down with no prompt to ask if I wanted to save the chartbooks. Lost about 3 hours work. Really unusual for Sierra charts and now I'm quite concerned. No issues this end with connectivity etc.

Check this setting and makes sure it is set to "No":
Global Settings >>General Settings >> GUI >> Disable Prompt to Save Chartbook on Chartbook Close

And always Save your Chartbook manually, after a significant amount of changes. Also refer to:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Accessing a Backup Chartbook File

There is also automatic save functionality:
General Settings Window: Auto-Save Chartbooks and Spreadsheets (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Chartbooks)

If you are referring to an abnormal shutdown of Sierra Chart, then refer to:

For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
