Relative Volume Inputs Changed after Roll to Dec ES

My relative volume chart changed markedly when I accepted the prompt to roll my ESU2 charts to ESZ2. I need the subgraph in the relative volume chart of ESZ to display the 3 colors - red for below 80%, blue for between 80% and 120%, and green for above 120% as it was before the roll. I've gone through the instructions but the inputs seem to allow me to only draw a chart with 2 colors instead of the three colors needed for the relative volume display. In addition, I've been unable to get the scale to show percentage volume rather than total volume or whatever it's showing now. Can someone assist in how I can get the third color to show again in the subgraph, and do we have to rebuild our charts every time Sierra prompts us to roll contracts and accept that prompt? Thank you...

There are too many options for that study for us to work through this by text. Therefore, please attach a chartbook that has just that chart in it with the study on it by following these instructions:
Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart

We can then take a look and see what is happening.

Hi, John,

I wanted to give you a bit of time to respond to my support message and your request of about a week ago, and I replied with the chartbook you requested. I also manually copied my relative volume settings from the expiring ESU22 contract over to the new ESZ22 contract but still no luck. Do you feel you'll have a chance to reply to my issue? Relative volume and TPO are the reasons I signed up for Sierra, and I'm really hoping to have this resolved by tomorrow so I can be all set for the volatility that's likely when they announce the FOMC decision. Thanks, Dan.

We will take a look at this, but we need your chartbook. It is not posted in this thread. If it is in another thread, then please let us know which one.

John,

FYI just a little while ago someone in the SierraChart Discord room made a suggestion and it appears to have worked. The key is to make sure the Continuous Contract (list) input in Chart Settings, Symbols is set to "continuous futures contract - volume based rollover." That appears to have solved my chart issue after the roll to ESZ22.

The attach chart function to this board is difficult to figure out. I thought I had followed your instructions from a week ago and really had no idea whether or not the chartbook you asked for was actually transmitted to you.

Thank you for your help, but I believe the above solution worked.
