Which roll over method is suitable?

[amirzayyani]

Hi, this is my roll over settings but in GC chart there is a gap up which is not in other charts that I see, which rollover method and setting should I set to fix this?

That gap is supposed to be there. The heaviest volume front month rolled to Z with a nice pop. You were using rollover by date on your other chart which is why you don't see the gap. Also the spot price didn't gap up. But continuous futures by volume rollover showed a gap (and once again, that's the correct way to chart a continuous commodity contract.

@nooris is spot on.

There have been times that after I rolled a chart that I had to wait until the contract expires before I could "Clear Local Data," and the data clears up. ...it also depended upon the provider.
