Post From: Sierra keeps deleting some of the intraday chart files

I've updated to the current version. Will have a look.

As for the difference to IQFeed:
This could be just due to Open E-Cry. The symbol settings by default for rollover are:
Number of Calendar Days before friday count within contract month
Number of calendar days = 0
Friday count within contract month = 3

This makes no sense. Trading largely shifts onto the new contract on the last day / last 2 days. The last day to trade is a half day session that ends at 12:30CET. I'm rolling the chart over so that the morning of the last day to trade, I am on the new contract, as I'm not interested in the low volume half day session on the old contract. I only seem to be able to achieve this by using the following date rollover rule:
Number of business days before specific calendar days before contract month
Number of business days = 1
Specific calenday days before contract month = -8 (minus 8).
This gives me the dates as per the log above, which I see as correct. Please advise if there is a better way to achieve this.

However, the resulting chart then doesn't match IQFeed. (I deleted & downloaded all data for the series of contracts making up the continuous chart to make sure the problem wasn't some adjustment I did)
As for the differences, I obtained a daily high from an IQFeed continuous chart for all the contracts making up my chart. Comparing these to the Sierra result, I get a result as per the attached comparison.png.
