symbol: ES

first ES intraday chart has
Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol = No
Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Continuous Contract (List): Continuus Futures Contract - Volume Based Rollover, Back Adjusted

second ES intraday chart has
Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Automatically Rollover Futures Symbol = No
Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Continuous Contract (List): None


Select first chart, select
Chart >> Perform Futures Symbol Rollover

This action will also rollover the second chart, although by the chart settings this is not wanted.

Sierra Chart is setup to rollover all charts that have the same symbol when you select "Chart >> Perform Futures Symbol Rollover". Refer to item #4 at the following link:
Changing to a New Futures Contract Month: Changing to a New Futures Contract Month

Therefore, you would have to change the symbol back to the previous contract for that one chart, if you do not want it to be using the new symbol.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
