When rolling futures contracts the chart appears to lose the drawings. This is not a case of the drawings being in the wrong place but completely missing. The chart has no drawings after the roll. The drawings are still present in the "chart drawing manager", however they do not appear on the chart after the roll, before or after the "rollover adjustment" is made. I can roll back and the drawings reappear. Please let me know what is needed to correct this issue.

Refer to the following: Chart Menu: Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol (Chart menu) Note that another option is to display the drawings for different symbols for the chart. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Show Chart Drawings For Different Symbols (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thank you. In all my years of rolling contracts in Sierra Chart, I have never had to utilize "Update Chart Drawings to Current Symbol command". I also noticed that not every chart required this.

When you roll over a chart, you should get a window that lets you select the new contract. On that window is an option for "Also Rollover Chart Drawing Symbols". If this is enabled, then the drawings will get updated with the new symbol. It's most likely that this is enabled for some of your charts, but not others. It's either that, or the option for "Show Chart Drawings for Other Symbols" is set to "Yes".
