Are you saying that if all testing is done on back adjusted continous
contracts, when trading the real deal you should then only take entry /
exit signals from back adjusted CC's?  This is preferable to taking
signals from individual contracts, since individual contracts were not
used in the back testing? 

Thanks again.
