Conrad,

Just two points where I don't agree:

1. If you have a signal on a given date you place your trade (generally)on the front 
month. Then expiration comes and your system hasn't changed trade direction. To me you 
should simply roll over your position to the next month, disregarding the fact that 
there is an actual signal there: chances are signal has already taken place somewhere 
near the date it happened in the earlyer month. So does the cc.

2. CCs are adjusted so that the percentage difference between each close doesn't change 
due to roll over. So no question should arise as of volatility or momentum shifting 
depending on different expirations. Furthermore, if you take into account daily range as 
a parameter, then you're likely to consider principally what is happening in the front 
month: your're getting exactly the same with CCs.
