Well this is the sort of thing that bloomberg handles pretty well, and I don't have to fiddle around with settings etc, it just, well kinda works right out of the box.

But I don't use it all that often in terms of charting. What I more often use it for is to ensure I have a ticker in a quote list that never expires and needs re-setting. An example would be Fed Funds futs (although even then, sometimes I end up looking at charts of 2nd month or something if there's an FOMC meeting date not captured by the front month contract.
It's annoying when there's a big offset between the current and the following contract... on the YM both are in line, but the NQ has a 10 point difference. If for example you had your eye on important S/R at 1950, all that changes
