In most situations it's best to trade the front month because that's where
the volume is and it's easier to get a fill at the price you want.
It's best to rollover contracts with the volume as well, on the EMini S&P
everyone trades the front month up to the day before rollover day, then on
rollover day everyone trades the next contract.
I treat each contract separately and don't use continuous contracts for
intraday trading.
