Hello,
I don't know the rollover dates, but I know there is too little volume in the H contract, and much more in the J, but does not roll over.
but also seems to be some sort of problem with the J contract.
If I'm not mistaken.
Thank you

The default setting for the rollover of BTC is the Last Thursday of the Contract Month. If you have the option for Global Settings >> General Settings >> Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume, then it will do the rollover based on the volume. Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

Also note that you can change the rollover date by entering additional days for Global Settings >> General Settings >> Additional Days to Add to Rollover Date for Automatic Chart and Quote Board Rollovers. Refer to the information here:
General Settings Window: Detect Rollover Of Current Futures Contracts Symbols Based On Real Time Volume (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Symbol)

That all said, it will not rollover automatically unless you have the option to do so set in Chart Settings >> Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol menu)

If you want to manually rollover you can select Chart >> Perform Futures Symbol Rollover and select the contract you want. Refer to the following:
Chart Menu: Perform Futures Symbol Rollover (Chart menu)

We do not see anything particularly odd about the J contract for BTC. It just appears that this is not traded a lot.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

Thank you.

Yes, I have the "Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol" chart setting enabled.
I'll check again.

BTW, reading your answer from the tablet, I clicked, by mistake, the "set" button. I can't find and 'unset' button so this post became an 'user discussion'.
by mistake.

Sorry about that.
