Dear Support, I am working on a performance tracking chart based on a user request, that uses multiple instances of the 'Add Additional Symbol' study. I have just found that the Chart Setting: Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol applies to the main chart symbol only but not additional symbols overlaid by the above mentioned study. As a result, at the time of rollover just the main chart symbol rolls but not the additional symbols - they have to be manually rolled. I want this chart to require minimum or no adjustments because of the high number of additional symbols used on the chart. Can you please consider adding the feature/option: 'Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol' to the 'Add Additional Symbol' study? Please also let me know if there is an alternative workaround I am not aware of to automate the roll of additional symbols. Thank you in advance! |

yeah, that is indeed very important.. i have a chart with lots of symbols with different expiry dates which is a great market overview but a PITA to maintain..

This has been in the software for awhile. When you choose the option to Perform Futures Symbol Rollover, there is an option on that page for Rollover Add Additional Symbol Studies.

@John, the idea was to auto roll over the additional symbols when they are expired

e.g. i have a market overview where i do have percent change for the day of, among others, the ES, GC and CL.. all are on a different roll over schema and i cant roll over the ES as it might not expire for another 2.5 months but, for example, CL expires each month

+1. Also is it possible to simultaneously rollover all expired symbols in all instances and watchlists? It is very tedious to do manually and maintain separately for each watchlist in each Sierrachart instance for those of us making use of multiple instances. |

Is there any update on this for auto roll of futures contracts using 'Add Additional Study' it really takes a long time to go through and update manually.

Hi all, Just wondered if there was a solution to this issue rather than manually changing each "additional symbol" Thank you |
