[amibroker] Attn. Gurus: Help Requested with Q reg. Data History of a new Futures Contract

Hello all

I would like to know how TA handles a new futures contract, when it has no historical data? The new symbol is different from the old one, so how would it inherit history? And then more than one futures contract runs for the same underlying for different months...so who inherits whose history? What are the linkages between an underlying & its multiple futures contracts, from the point of data history & charting? What is the usual charting practice for a futures chart?

In stocks we use tick, minute,hour, day, week, month, year charts....long time.....futures are alive only during the contract period so what are the charting & data normalization practices?

All comments, insights, advice & links appreciated.

Hope someone can help me understand how it works.

With best regards.
Sanjay.
