we’re a few weeks out from the usual ES/NQ roll (somewhere around the 10th-14th) so figured id mention it early.
tradovate flips the chart over to the new contract by itself. it does not touch open positions. so you can be staring at the new month while youre still holding the old one, and fills look completely insane for about 30 seconds until it clicks.
if you copy trades or run groups thats where it really bites. leader rolls, follower is still sitting on the old expiry, next order goes into the dead contract.
before that first session after the roll just click into every account and look at the actual symbol. dont go off the chart title.
