hello, seems like about 2/3 of contracts for sc feed /cqg will assemble continuous charts, and the rest only show 1 prior expiration

will update this thread with the list

for instance,

ICE energy futures

GLOBEX Lean Hogs

ICE futures look good, however lean hogs does not stitch together a continuous chart still and globex Feeder Cattle seems to be missing some 2015 data : http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1492863124872.png

You need to follow the instructions here for both of these charts:

There are already rollover rules for both of these.

According to Barchart there is no June contract:

It is not an active contract month and would never be included in the Continuous Futures contract chart.

weird, they are lower volume months. and i wouldnt include them in a chart, however, in TWS, i can add JUN. it has practically the same bid/offer and size, and i executed my trade there just fine, not seeing July hidden in the 'More contracts' menu
