Hi,

I am trying to set the chart to show continuous data, but fail to do so.

Following the instructions in this page - Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Introduction
I found that the *File >> Connect to Data Feed* doesn't work in my side of the platform.

What sould I do to use a continuous intraday data on the FDAX contract?


Regards,
Shy

If Connect to Data Feed is disabled it means that Sierra Chart is already connected to the data feed.

Follow the instructions here to update the Symbol Settings:

One problem we see that is going to cause issues is the symbol of the chart is not the active futures contract. You are using H23. Change it to FDAXU22.
