Sierra Chart uses the open prices on rollover day to calculate the price difference. This seems to work well. We do not use the settlement prices because those are not a reliable method to calculate the price difference because of the special algorithm used by exchanges to calculate the settlement. Settlement will not provide an accurate calculation because these prices are not based upon trading at a specific point in time. We observed this clearly during testing. You can see a log of the back adjustment calculations being done in the Window >>Show/Hide Message Log. /ESH4 [C] 60 min #1: Download is complete for all contract months in chart.
