I appreciate the thought, but Perpetual data isn't what I had in mind.
Just the real thing, as you'd see it in real time, but switching the
software's
attention from one contract to the next as I transfer mine here in the
real world. When one contract ceases to be the most active, or gets too
close to expiration for my comfort, I move to the next one and recalculate
whatever indicators are of interest (position trading, obviously) using
however many back days I need from the new contract. Perpetual data
doesn't really quite do it for me.
