  Subject: [amibroker] constructing 
  "Continuous contracts" with eSignal data for Non-US futures
  
  Hi All,
Any advice on methods to construct continuous 
  futures contracts using esignal intra-day data? Am just starting out and 
  whatever I was able to find on their KB seems to indicate that they only 
  facilitate continuous contracts for US futures via the #F symbol route(which 
  also is constrained to the eSignal charting platform). If my understanding is 
  incorrect, will be very grateful to anyone who can point me in the right 
  direction. 
One work aorund that I can think of is , keep the basic 
  symbol and manually change the extension/addition to the symbol which denotes 
  the contract specs every rollover date and keep on saving the data 
  locally.This however seems to be an error prone method as, in my case(the 
  Indian market), there are a  total of approx 240 odd symbols which 
  comprise SSF symbols and Index futures and a typo is all thats required to 
  make any symbol incorrect.
Best 
  Regards
