Hi team,

Is there any way to get continuous futures data for the 2nd or 3rd active contract?

Currently there is only continuous futures data for the most active contract. But it will be great if we can have continuous futures data for the further-out contracts, especially helpful for calendar spread strategy backtesting. Thanks!

Not sure how well this would work but you can set the chart to the second or third non-expired contract symbol.

Just make sure you use Date-based rollover. And not Volume-based rollover.

Tried that... doesn't work. The latest contract has changed, but the past contracts are still showing the most active contract.
