Hello,

I roll over based on volume. Today I noticed that my weekly VWAPs are different than other people's. I noticed that the overnight session between Tuesday and Wednesday this week is missing and the following error in the Message Log:

How do I fix it?

I checked daily volumes and I can see that for the last few days volume on my charts is very low, which suggests that Sierra picked the front contract too early (or it holds on to the prior contract for too long). I tried deleting & redownloading the indicated .dly files as well as redownloading the front contract, but that did not help.

I would appreciate some help, please?

Re-download the data, again, for the December 2023 and March 2024 contracts following these instructions:
Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Re-Downloading Continuous Futures Contract Data

There is an option to Download for Daily Data Files Only. Enable that.


If that does not work switch to a date-based rollover instead of volume:
