Is it possible to setup in SC a futures chart that is set to the 1st back month and will roll over when the current back month becomes the front month?
In other words, it rolls automatically maintaining a back month contract

Taking ES/NQ as an example, currently if the first back month is March 2021, when Dec comes and March becomes the front contract, I'd want this chart to roll to June 2021.
Is there a way to configure SC to do that?

No you would have to custom program this using ACSIL. ACSIL can change the symbol of the chart.
