<DIV><FONT size=2>Just have time for a quick response ... I use Pinnacle Data's
www.pinnacledata.com continuous and
extended contract service. For system testing you'll need to use continuous
adjusted contracts to eliminate the gaps and unless you don't mind negative
current prices you'll need to use back adjusted. For trading (I'm not a system
trader) I use continuous unadjusted to preserve the original price action and
patterns and keep an eye on the gaps caused by joining contracts. I use the
continuos for monitoring long term monthly and weekly resistance, support and
patterns. I use the daily forward month contract for trading. As for months, I
wrote a program which among other things monitors open interest on the 3 nearest
contracts and always trade the contract with the highest open interest - you can
do the same for a just a few contracts by watching the OI in the WSJ. Should you
use the Pinnacle service, they will handle rolls and selection of months for
you.</FONT></DIV>

for seasonal grains</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Please can any of the traders experienced in trading grains
futures offer guidance on the most suitable format for continuous data?
<BR>
<OL>
<LI>1 For each commodity, is it better to compile one data file where
each front month is shown as its volume & OI rises above the other
months, i.e. a single continuous data file for say wheat which is based on
all wheat contracts offered.
<LI>2. Or is it better to maintain a number of separate files each based on
a specific month, e.g. a single data file for only Dec Wheat. </LI></OL>In the
case of 2 being the preferred format please can you advise which are the best
months to compile for CBOT Corn, Rice, Soya & Wheat?
<P>Many thanks & greetings from Australia
