When I rolled over from ESH3.CME to ESM3.CME, my drawing tools (e.g., trendlines, gann fans) were all off. How do I rollover while maintaining the integrity of the drawing tools? Also, when I roll back by changing the symbol in the chart from ESM3 to ESH3, there are no drawing tools anymore.

To adjust the drawings, refer to the following: Changing to a New Futures Contract Month: Adjusting Chart Drawings to Match Futures Contract Rollover Difference The reason you do not see the drawings when you go to the previous contract is because the drawings are associated with a specific symbol. When you rolled over to the new contract (M) you also adjusted the drawings to be associated with the new contract. If you want to see the drawings when displaying a different symbol, then you need to enable the option for Show Chart Drawings for Different Symbols. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Show Chart Drawings For Different Symbols (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Drawings menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

This is not an good solution. When I use the adjust feature to manually move the drawings up or down together, I can align some drawing tools perfectly, but other drawings tools are misaligned. It sounds like I'd need to adjust each drawing tool individually then, in which case, I might as well draw the couple hundred drawing tools all over again. A better solution would be to adjust the drawing tools according to their previous anchors. For example, if I had a trend-line connecting two lows, they should adjust to those same lows irrelevant of price. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-03-17 16:22:27

You need to develop a solution yourself by using ACSIL and modifying the drawings to your requirements: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study If that is what you believe, then develop this yourself . We would never do this: A better solution would be to adjust the drawing tools according to their previous anchors.
