I am looking at the difference between the Tradestation Cont Contract, and Sierra's. Are there any other ways to customize these contracts? B/c in Tradestation, I can alter the number of days before expiration, & I can alter the number of days after volume changeover. However, In Sierra - I can't customize these at all. What are Sierra's 'standardized' settings for these things? Is there any other reason why Tradestation's @ contract is so very different from Sierra's. (I am using Rithmic). There appears to be something wrong with how Sierra or Tradestation calculates continuous contracts, and I'd like to figure out what that is. (also, why does the volume based rollover on back adjusted contracts not actually back adjust after rollover? This is kind of absurd, no?) |

The rollover rules are controlled through Global Settings >> Symbol Settings . You need to select the symbol and select the Rollover tab. Here is the documentation for this: www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php also, why does the volume based rollover on back adjusted contracts not actually back adjust after rollover?
We need to see the Message Log and know what symbol you are having a problem with. To make this easy, you need to restart Sierra Chart. Open one chart that is not back adjusting that uses the Continuous Futures Contract feature with back adjustment, and then post a copy of the Message Log for us by following these instructions:https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=PostingInformation.php#log Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
