The idea is that you rollover when the immediate next contracts daily 
volume gets bigger than the current contract that you have been trading. 
I use the following for US futures (the one's I follow); it's not always 
exact, but works for me. 
 
DM = Delivery Month 
MPDM = Month prior to delivery month 
Currency futures - roll 8th of DM, at session close 
Equity futures - roll Wed before 2nd Thur of DM, at session close 
Bond futures - roll 26th of MPDM, at session close 
 
HTH - Abhijit

Call me stupid but exactly on when days are you supposed to switch from one 
futures contract to the next quarter's contract? And why on that day and not 
earlier or later? 
 
Thanks again.
