if you look at ZNZ5 (continuous contract, with volume based rollover) and back adjusted for the roll, my chart has a 6 tick gap from 127-04+ --> 127-10+ at midnight last night (Aug-31st). There was no gap in the actual contract. There should be no gap. There was no significant trading activity at that point in time. It looks like there is a problem with the back adjustment, because ZNZ5 was trading in the range of 127-09+ --> 127-12 for an hour on either side of midnight last night. It looks like the other US treasury future also have a problem with the rollover last night (ZF has a similar large error...ZB has an error, but small). i am using ThinkorSwim as my trading platform, and the SC data feed. |

This is definitely correct. We get the same result that you do. The transition from one futures contract to the next is always done at midnight in an Intraday chart. Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#DisplayingRolloverDatesContractMonths The back adjustments are calculated correctly and how they are done is explained at step 8 here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html#UsingContinuousFuturesContractCharts ZNZ5 [CBV] [M] 10 Min #19: Download is complete for all contract months in chart.

i see the problem. You are using the opening prices of the session, but this particular session had a bad open for US treasury futures(if you look at a chart of the spread between sept and dec, the bad spread at the open only lasted for a minute). How can i fix this? |

To "fix" the roll, should i change the open price of Sept, or Dec?

Either one. It does not matter. However, when the daily data files are updated which happens at least once a day and when restarting Sierra Chart, the two most recent dates are rewritten. So you will have to do the change again tomorrow because the change will be overwritten. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
