Question 1: How to find continuous contracts for SP500 (ES) and MNQ for 2003 and 2004 Hi, I want to load continuous contracts for the S&P 500 (ES) and Micro S&P (MNQ) for the years 2003 and 2004. How do I find them in “Find Symbol”? What symbol should I select to ensure I get complete historical data starting from 2003? Can I get both years on a single continuous chart? Question 2: How to apply Ratio Backadjustment Once I have the continuous contract: How do I apply Ratio Backadjustment instead of full backadjustment? Where exactly is this configured in “Chart Settings → Advanced Settings → Continuous Futures”? Are there any precautions I should take to ensure indicators behave correctly when using ratio adjustment? |

1. Refer to the following for the general information for Continuous Futures Contract charts: Continuous Futures Contract Charts You can not have a Continuous Futures Contract that is just for 2003 and 2004. Your front contract has to be the current front contract and then you can load all the data back to the date you want. You can also limit the data that is displayed using the "Date Range From/To", but again, the actual symbol for the chart needs to be the current front contract. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Load Data Limiting Method: Date Range >> Date Range From / To (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Date Range menu) 2. Refer to the following: Continuous Futures Contract Charts: Controlling Rollover Amount for Back Adjustments For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
