Re: Why Continous contract software

GOOD QUESTION!!!!

In everything I learned (which may not be enough), data of "adjusted"
continuous contracts, by their very nature, are flawed.

One, why not just use the same-month contract if your trading is that long
term (a Gann idea)?

Two, again for "long-term" positions, why not just "roll over" to the next
month and adjust the entry price instead of the whole data base?
