I updated the symbol and I still have a huge bar on historical charts and the intraday show 1500-1600 type prices.

And as predicted my rollover rules for W (White Sugar) and London Cocoa just got changed after update so it's not the case that rollover rules are left alone (and I do not have overwrite all settings enabled). I had also opened a thread 2 weeks ago to fix those symbols (Please fix White Sugar and London Cocoa rollover specs) - but suffice to say rollover rules are never safe with symbol updates from what I've observed.

Try it, go to W sugar, set a random rollover rule then hit symbol update and watch it disappear.

Anyway, the milk thing is still an issue. If I set the chart's historical price multiplier to 0.01 it then looks correct but then the historical charts are all wrong (and also have a giant bar on them that just wrecks the chart).
