I have a chart for the DAX and since it went from FAXH1 to FDAXM1 my chart is now displaying only a few bars per day every few hours. My chart has gone from looking like this: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1615772611264.png to looking like this: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1615772514434.png I have not changed any settings on the chart, I simply tried to update the symbol from FDAXH1 to FDAXM1. Thank you for your support. I'm using Sierra Chart version 2238 |

You are using a 50 trades chart and it is not a Continuous Chart. Therefore, on the early days in the chart when there was not much trading on the FDAXM1 instrument, you are getting only a bar or two or three per day. As time goes on, and the new contract becomes more traded, it will look more "normal". Another option would be to set your chart to be a Continuous Contract, which will make it look better, as it will be showing the information for the previous contract before the rollover date.
