Automatic Rollover - Date vs Volume behavior

View Count: 2022

The symbol is set to "Automatic Rollover Futures symbol" in Chart >> Chart Settings menu
Also a date-based rollover rule is defined for the symbol in Global Settings >> Symbol Settings
Also 'Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume' is set in Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 4

1. This should automatically rollover the symbol when DATE conditions are met, correct?

2. If Volume conditions are met BEFORE the above date conditions, will there be an automatic rollover based on Volume or just an indication but NO automatic rollover?

3. If there is an indication, will the Date rollover criteria also apply and automatically rollover after the Volume indication has been set?

4. Where would I see this indication and how do I clear it?

Thanks

Refer to the documentation here:
Chart Settings: Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

What causes the rollover is documented. It is not really automatic. The chart has to be reloaded for that to happen.

Hi

I updated chart to "Continuous Futures Contract - Volume Based Rollover, Back Adjusted". Even now, for Monthly chart, it's not showing data before August 2019.

Thanks

First, what is the setting for Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Chart Data Type set to?

Second, what is the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Days to Load for Historical Chart Data Type set to?

Hi

I updated "Day to Load" to 4380 in one chart, and it's working fine.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks
